While Walking In the Garden …

Red Sox vs. Orioles. It was 5 – 0. 8th inning. Okay, whatever. I’ll take a quick walk and take some pictures. I came back into the house 20 minutes later – just in time to see the Red Sox freakin’ WIN.

It was great, too – because the second the game was over the phone rang (which is classic – that’s the way it always goes in this family. Game over, phone rings … you have no idea WHO it is, but you know it is a member of the extended clan … who needs to either exult or bitch …) It was my brother and my cousin Mike. So that was great.

So weird, though, that I left, strolling around in the late afternoon sunshine … pretty certain that they would lose – I mean, of course they would … and I walked back into the house … to hear my parents hissing at me, “Come in here! You’re not going to believe it!” I rushed down the hall, just in time to see Millar (bless him, on multiple levels) throw to first … fumble bumble … and then to see Ortiz and Youk jumping up and down just like they were in Little League celebrating a championship win.

From 5 – 0 … to 6 – 5? What the hell??

Here are the photos I took as my team worked its 9th inning magic.

    I’m crossing my eyes trying to see the 3D picture in Forsythia and Violets.

    Seriously, you certainly have the eye.

    I can’t even talk about it! I shut it off in the 8th to call my Mom on Mother’s day. I figured it was over. I never even checked back. Then, later in the day I checked the Yankees score to see if we could at least keep our 7 game lead ( I hear Emma’s voice right now saying, “Dad, who’s ‘we’ and ‘our’? You don’t play on the Red Sox team you know, it’s them. Ha-Ha) So I hear Michael Kay say, “The Yankees know by now that the Red Sox have come back and scored 6 in the 9th to win their game.” I ran into the kitchen and screamed to my 11 year old daughter, “We did it!! We did it, we came back to win!!”

    Kerry’s “presence” reminds me that it’s almost time for more Brotherhood!

    Can. Not. Wait.

    Beautiful colors!

    Love the pictures that are all “texture”, ie. that have no subject (like the “violets in the shade”).

    Can I say again that I’m loving your new camera?
