skywatching fireworks

this is a photo from our recent trip back east.  our visit included a ballgame with some people to celebrate a family birthday.  the game even included some post-game fireworks, hence today's photo.

one week until pitchers and catcher report

now that football is finally over and done with, we can move on to the first sign of the baseball season's arrival. believe it or not, in just over one week's time, the first professional baseball players will start to arrive at their spring training sites in florida and arizona. this photo is from a trip i took last spring with my aunt to see some "cactus league" games in arizona.

time to play ball!
