Orioles Magic

wow... just saw the exciting comeback win on TV. I don't know what it is, but the O's look more like a baseball team already... only five games into the season. Sole possession of first place and a small, excited group of fans.

I don't feel that I am a fair weather 'Birds watcher, but I have long languished in the despair and angst so many other Orioles fans have shared for the past decade. To see them come out of the gate playing as a team, making big plays and just trying to win is very refreshing. I still don't expect a finish better than .500 this season, but the few games I've watched or followed in print already indicate that Orioles Magic may be reborn already. (was listening to Amber interview Luke Scott and Orioles Magic was being blasted throughout the ballpark)

Hopefully I'll be able to afford to go to a couple games this season after missing out entirely last season... being house poor sucks, but I know this is where I'm supposed to be right now. At least I have cable... even though MASN frequently seems to have some technical issues.

I think I'll go out and take a walk now. The trees and bushes are blossoming and it's rather nice outside (despite being overcast).

(back from walk now)

here are a couple shots...




and a couple more...




you can really tell that I'm using a compact digital for these, because of the blurring on the edges; however, for a consumer camera it does take some incredibly clear images. I use a Kodak EasyShare v610 Dual Lens... it was a higher end compact when I bought it two years ago, and I still think it does nicely.

Nice shots man! I too have been a bit obsessed with the outdoors. Its kinda hard not to be this time of year.
To mention the O's game, I'll be sure to let you know when we head out to some games (even the house poor can afford a $6 ticket :) ).
