end of exam week


one final paper to hand in later today. then a week of break from school - and oh boy, am i ever going to enjoy it! like this picture, i can see the sunshine on the other side of the shade - it's almost close enough to taste it now.

up first is the world baseball classic semi-finals and final game at dodger stadium (hopefully some pictures to follow), then a few days in arizona for some spring training baseball. i really can't wait... bring it on!

more sky watch friday found right here.

Nice view and great capture. I love all those palms and old homes. Have fun on your break!

Guy D, what a thoughtful thing to say! Thank you.

Enigma, the weather has been warming up nicely in recent days. In the high 70s today I think. Very pleasant.

Lily and Linnea, thanks so much for your comments on the composition of this shot - it was actually taken out of a window on our campus at Fuller.

Powell, I will have fun on my break, thanks!

What a beautiful photo, and the clouds in the sky add serenity. I like the tone contrasts.

Is that cloud a baseball player running the bases? Have a great spring break. Thanks for showing me a nice warm landscape on this first day of spring.

ben wideman said...

Barb, I think you're right! I had totally forgotten it was the first day of spring.

Just a signed autograph jersey from Manny Ramirez. That's all. Just that one thing.
