sturgeon moon

It really is hard to beat a summer night at a baseball game. And when you can see the Sturgeon Moon rise over the field…it’s just about perfect!

he was out at first

That runner gave it all he had, but he was watching the ball could already tell that he’d be out at first.

His team (the Amarillo Sod Poodles) won, anyway.

Look at me, pretending to be a sports photographer! (The runner was called safe. It was not a popular decision.)

I’ve been watching the place for a long time, waiting for the abandonment to hit the critical, photo-worthy point. And it’s nearly there…

The day I visited I noticed how those letters were cut from sheets of plywood. And then I realized that the wood grain is going in different directions on the letters and now I can’t un-see that part of it. (That’s a weird relic in my brain left over from when I was learning – unsuccessfully – to sew. Nice that I still remember to lay a pattern the same direction on the grain of the fabric and how hilarious that one thing still hangs around to influence random photographs.)
