Shadow Shots: Sneak Peek

On our way out of a ball game a couple of weeks ago, my husband and I passed by a little storage building with a mysteriously dark window way down at sidewalk level. Being the curious kind, and too old to care what other people think, we just had to bend down to sneak a peek inside.

We encountered a huge, sinister, green face peering back at us from within the deep, black shadows.




Every episode of The Twilight Zone I ever saw came flooding into my head.

Recovering from the shock, we laughed nervously at the mask, or mascot, or whatever it was, snapped a few photos, and went on our way.

Lightened and processed a bit, our bogyman doesn't look so scary after all. He does seem to be appreciating the ladies as they pass by, though, doesn't he. Which actually is kinda creepy.

Fridays Fences: Boys of Summer

What could be more appropriate for the first day of summer than scenes from a hometown baseball game? This was the South Bend Silver Hawks vs. The Dayton Dragons.

Now, I have to confess that my husband had to drag me there. My distant memories of baseball involved deep sunburns and even deeper boredom. But our seats were in the shade, and there were lots of distractions and attractions for those of us with short attention spans. Plus, I had my camera to play with.




The "fence" here is actually more of a net. It's there to keep people from getting beaned by foul balls.

With a deep, booming Voice of God, the vendor calls "Cold beer, peanuts, aaaaaand?"
The crowd response is always, "Craack-er Jacks!" 




Our home boys got their hats handed to them, but it was still a great time.
