proper semicolon use?

Hi,

Would you say the following sentence which used a semicolon to illustrate what the meaning is but did so with an example?

Participle clauses have meaning in the process category: Having played tennis all afternoon, he went for a short walk.

That's a colon, not a semicolon, and it is used appropriately.
