Planetary Lawn Bowling

Lawn bowling at night, courtesy Satchel’s Pizza, home of the best pizza in Gainesville (and possibly anywhere else). Not only is this a pizza joint, but it’s also an art gallery, a junk shop, a live music venue and an extremely child-friendly restaurant. The kids have three play areas and the adults have lawn bowling. And beer. And wine. Oh, and really awesome pizza. Green olives, roasted red peppers, garlic (real cloves, not that powdery stuff) and extra cheese.
The best part: I can walk there if I want. Yeah. Even better: all employees get a living wage and all the perks of so-called “real” jobs. Business is booming and it has been since they opened their doors. A welcome addition to the neighborhood, for sure.

A little closer cropping and the photo would have matched the title! From the small view, it does look like bocce ball with planets, but in the full view you can tell it’s not. And, since I’ve learned, for the most part, to open to full view before leaving a comment, well, you just ruined the effect for me. :-(
I do like the motion on the one ball though. And grayscale adds to the effect. Still, though, some cropping would have better served the image.

I was waffling on the cropping thing. I tried both ways and ended up with the wide crop.

Oh yeah…and it’s planetary BOCCE! Bocce balls do look like Pluto when you b&w them, though. Oh wait…Pluto’s not a planet anymore! What are we going to DO!?!?!?!?

Again on the waffling. I was going to call it Planetary Bocce, but something inside me said to go with lawn bowling. Oy.

Dude, how and the heck do you own with a phone? Awesome, of course. Sounds like a great joint.
You would love Satchel’s. Incredibly kid-friendly, but the grown-ups get taken care of as well. You rhymed, lol.

Bocce?
I love the blur on the ball.
Sounds like a really great place to go…

I want a Satchels Pizza- I have five kids and not too many places are kid friendly these days. And if they are kid friendly- say like McDonald’s… chances are they don’t serve wine.
Man! Dan is tough on the commenting- I would hate for him to be my camera phone art teacher… hee hee.
