Spring rain

Laney

In case you're sick of baseball photos, here's a football:Look who I actually got to smile at the camera (she's very camera shy lately):
She was making cookies:

One-track mind

Baseball, baseball, baseball. Coming soon: softball!Look, Cam's got four legs! We could title this one "Why I'll never be a Sports Illustrated photographer."

More baseball

You're going to get so sick of my baseball shots. Cam's team won 14-5. He pitched five good innings and had some good hits. We lost track; he had a lot of at-bats.
I like the way the dirt is flying off his shoe in this one:
And I always like it when I get the ball:
Bird of the day:
And remember the Goddard Mansion photo I posted earlier? I found a cool website that will age photos with just a click:

The Woodford Report

The boys did well and won yesterday's game. Cam played third base, and here he is hitting a triple. He's scheduled to be starting pitcher in today's game.I haven't sent you grandparents a schedule yet because it's been kind of wacky so far. I think he'll be playing the JV schedule (he floated to varsity for the scrimmages during vacation week) so I'll be e-mailing.

Play ball

Cam's been practicing and scrimmaging like crazy all week, and today we have our first game.

This is the Goddard Mansion at Ft. Williams Park, where the Portland Head lighthouse is:
Bird of the day, a northern flicker:

Mama and baa baa

For you, Dad & Eleanor, since you said someone needs to take a picture of me. Didn't Chris do a good job? I used some portraiture software that I have on this--I love it--it's like plastic surgery with just a few clicks of the mouse. Delaney thinks it looks fake, but I don't care! I think this girl might still be prettier than me, though:

Sunshine

Just some random photos from the last few days.

My people

I don't know what's up with this first couple of photos looking all pixelated. They look fine on my computer. Anyway...

And another Portland Head Light shot

Portland Head Light

You've seen eighty million pictures of Portland Head Light, but I've never photographed it before, so you get to look at mine too:

Daffodils

I love how when these bloom, they just go bam!

Bird of the day

Yesterday's bird was a purple finch. Today's bird--nuthatch:And the chickadee quest continues:
The white crocuses:
Tomorrow: daffodils! They just bloomed and I'm heading outside with the camera after breakfast.

Delaney and the birds and the bees

Cam's game got canceled, so I have nothing to report. Delaney had some teeth out on Wednesday in preparation for getting her braces put on. Here she is icing her mouth.:I love the way the bees are swarming around the crocuses:
And the bird of the day:

The boy

The boy has his first baseball game today.

Chris's grampa

Chris got this in an e-mail this morning. His grampa (Georgie's dad) is on the right. Pretty cool!Georgie, this came from that guy Scott that you got Chris in touch with. Is this photo familiar to you at all? We'll get a copy to you.

Joy

Happy happy joy joy. And crazy eyes.

Cattails

Birds and flowers

This is for you, Mom. Guess what else I saw yesterday but didn't get a photo of? A bald eagle! It flew right over the house.

I checked my 2007 photos--the crocuses came up 10 days later this year.

Bird(s) of the Day

The birds are returning. I think spring is finally here.

Flashback

Laurie, me, and Dad at someone's graduation? I can't remember. I'm sporting a sweet mullet, though.

Yet another chickadee photo

I believe the perfect chickadee photo has become a quest of mine.

Ladybug

Breaking out the sidewalk chalk--it's spring!
