A few blocks away is a baseball field just outside the entrance to the beach. I never thought of going there to watch birds. But to my pleasant surprise I saw dozens of Robins eating worms on the ball field!
This male was courting several females and was quite chatty ;D
Onward we go...please be well!!
Martha, this one is for you:)
Horse workout time in the roundabout. Lila comes around Freestyle while keeping an eye on the photographer.
The other baseball shot i posted way back had a list of the things i wanted to do different, (shoot and learn:). I've been anxiously waiting for warm weather to give it another try, and i'm much happier with this, the first of a few i'll post. I hope you like it. Thanks for the views, comments and faves. Have a Happy Easter Weekend. If you don't celebrate Easter, just have a great weekend.

In honor of spring training and longing for warmer weather.
Major League Baseball holds is its spring training from mid-February until opening day of the regular season in April. The teams go to either Florida or Arizona for spring training. It’s called the Cactus League in Arizona and the Grapefruit league in Florida. My photograph this week is of a baseball and two grapefruits in reference to the Florida Grapefruit League. (The background between the baseball and front grapefruit is also a grapefruit.) The baseball I used is one that was fouled into the stadium over the net at a Rome Braves Minor League game in Rome, GA. We were driving to Florida from Ohio on vacation a few years ago and stopped in Rome overnight. We were sitting behind home plate and the ball was fouled into the section next to us. There was no one in that section and my nephew ran over to get the ball and gave it to my son.
Lit with two 30W bulbs. One to camera left behind the baseball and the other front to camera right aimed toward the baseball. HMM!
The date - March 19, The place - The Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail. The temp. 74 degrees!!!!!!!!!!!!! A month earlier than normal. Off we went!!
Unfortunately, the path wasn't refurbished. So we had a "washboard ride" . Our "glutes" were hurting, but it soooo nice to get to it again. We did 12 of the 26 mile run!!!

Shaun Anderson, #82 a non roster invitee, would pitch a full inning, with one strike out and he did not give up a hit. He did very good job, maybe he will make the club.
It's ball season, and Ripley is ready to start training . . . like she needs any! If she misses, it's usually my fault due to a poor pitch. So glad it's spring!
Goodyear, AZ
Another panorama....this time a leftover from Spring Training in Goodyear, AZ. Can't wait to head back for fall ball in just a couple of weeks!
Obligatory spring training shot at Stony Creek Metropark as the new cycling season stirs from winter hibernation.
Prospect Blake Swihart doubles to right field for the Red Sox against the Pirates. Didn't have my SLR with me but captured this with my point and shoot. You can see the ball exiting the left side of the frame.
My son Jason and I at spring training at the Padres/Mariners Peoria, Az. stadium. The Rangers were playing the Padres. 33 hits and 22 runs in this game, what a game. Unfortunately the Ranges lost.
