I know lots of people like the game of soccer, but I also know for sure that many games have been held up while referees and fellow players try to awaken a midfielder or goalie who has fallen dead asleep out of sheer boredom.
Now to a great game, our national pastime, baseball. On Sunday, 4,000 young men and women from Great Britain came to town after being at a jamboree in West Virginia. They enjoyed an afternoon of baseball at Baltimore's Oriole Park at Camden Yards, where their left field seats put them in proximity with Orioles left fielder Anthony Santander, and there began a lovefest between an athlete from Venezuela and the thousands of British kids, who cheered like mad for his every move, to an extent that he began tossing spare balls to them as they chanted his name. Had there been a doubleheader, Santander would probably be a Member of Parliament or a Duke. Baltimore already had an Earl.
I have no way to prove this isn't the result of a really great dye job, but man oh man, does this dog look like Salvador Dali!
I had to look it up to find that this is a Yellow Heron, but the thing I liked about him was the intent look in his eye as he guzzled some lake water.
For a while, people were having fun by opening two dictionaries at once and randomly pointing to one word in each, and then putting both words in a sentence. This would be the result if your words were "sumo wrestler" and "Sunflower field."
It looks like a picture of grains of sand magnified 134,000 times, but this is sea glass. I assume these all began with bottles of wine broken (or guzzled) at sea 200 years ago, tossed about on angry seas until it gets tumbled and lands on the beach.
"Rusty barb wire with cobwebs" sounds like a minimalist meal at a New American restaurant.
I don't like to go with black and white photos; I like to make the picture show both snarky AND colorful, but this is just too good to pass by.
