I’m back in the office today after using two weeks of vacation time, so I searched through Merlin to see what the photo staff had been up to while I was out. I thought maybe I could get caught up with a single “Pictures I Like” blog post, but there are just too many good pictures and interesting stories. So, look for several “Pictures I Like” entries over the next week or so. We have to get caught up on the regatta at the Oklahoma River, OU Texas weekend, military deployments and Thunder media day, just to name a few. If you want to get a sneak peek, take a look at the photo galleries by clicking here, and hopefully you already watched this.
