Foul Ball 2

How about another picture from the RiverCats game last week?  This foul ball went right over our heads.  I'm glad it wasn't any lower; I didn't see it until hit off the wall behind us.  All I know about the batter is that his name is Patterson and he stole 3 bases during the game, including home.  It was pretty sweet.

I have looked through all of my pictures from the game and they are all very similar - pitchers pitching and batters batting.  Next time I will have to mix up my shots and get some of the other players.  When's the next game?

Water Ribbons

Second post today.  This is a shot of Lower North Falls in Silver Falls State Park.  It is my second try with Photoshop.  I didn't do as much with this one as I did with the baseball.

Don't expect two per day from now on - Im just excited about my new toy!

Foul Ball

My first attempt at Photoshop was somewhat successful.  I have not learned much about my new toy, but I have been having fun with it.  This is my second test and I like the results.  This was taken at a Sacramento RiverCats game against Round Rock.  I don't know this guys name or what happened during his at bat - other than this foul ball.

I will be playing around with my new program a lot in the coming days in an attempt to get to know it before I head off to camp.  Look for more - from the game and other places - soon.

Cabin Pictures Part 2

The water was high, fast, and cold.  Somehow I made it across safely to the island.  I was happy when I got there, until realized that I had to get back.  While waiting for my feet and legs to thaw, I took some pictures.  Here are some that I like.

Look at how close the water is to the rope in this first picture.  The rope is on the far right.  Usually when I'm at the cabin, people that want to swing on the rope have to stretch to grab it.  If I was tough enough to swim over there, I probably would have been able to hit the knot at the bottom with my head.

Along with being cold, the water was crystal clear and a pretty lime green color.  The reflections in the water were very pretty and I tried to capture that in this photo.

Jenny and I went to the cabin again this past weekend with Amy.  We were there for maybe an hour - just enough time to take some more pictures, see that the water is even higher than it was in these pictures, and take a short nap.  Look for those pictures some time soon.
