more kiwi fotos

Here are more fotos from the "over 60" tournament held in Sonoma earlier this month. They were taken by Peggy Matsuda of Big Boules in Healdsburgs' Dry Creek Valley. As you will see, Peggy is a fine photograher, and speaking from experience, a wonderful person with whom to play pétanque...even though she did beat us.
