    Home Run

    Mark Reynolds Homerun

    We were in Seattle on Memorial Day and arrived early enough to attend a Mariners ball game. It’s been a few years since I attended a baseball game. In the above image, Mark Reynolds of the Baltimore Orioles is connecting on a home run in the third inning of the game. It also shows how I’m not used to the shutter lag on this camera. We left in the 7th inning and headed for Pikes Market for some people watching, shopping and seafood. 🙂 It was a great day!

    I’m off to the skies today. Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend! Maybe even go to a ball game. 🙂

    First Base

    I took a walk this afternoon around the neighborhood near my hotel in Rockville, New York. Sometimes I just need to get out and see the world I’m in. A few blocks into my walk I came across this empty baseball complex. I haven’t been on a diamond for many years so it felt kinda cool to step out there. I remember the days when I played the sport and enjoyed it. I was not the best but that did not matter, I went out there and tried. Anyway I found a few other interesting subjects in my viewfinder.

    I found fire hydrants everywhere, blue ones with white tops. They were eye-catching to me. I wonder what people thought as I circled a couple of them, squatted down for a low angle but  I swear I never lifted my leg. 🙂

    I thought this was interesting. See them a lot and especially  the farther east I go. Every culture has their statues symbolizing their faith or a hero or a memory.
