That's the way the Cookie Crumbles

My daughter brought over some baseball cookies the other night when we watched the Rangers blow game six of the World Series. They went on to lose game seven to end their season. Oh well... "that's the way baseball go".

So Close!

In the ninth inning and again in the tenth inning of game six, the Texas Rangers came within one strike of winning the 2011 World Series. I was taking photographs of the TV screen to commemorate the impending victory, but it was not to be. On to game seven.

Celebrate!

The Texas Rangers beat the Detroit Tigers to win the American League Pennant. They advance to the World Series for the second year in a row.

Back Yard: Butterfly on Thistle

I was taking photos of flowers in the back yard when I saw a small butterfly fluttering around. I waited to see if it would land on a flower, then noticed three butterflies already on a flower. I don't have a good shot that shows all three, but notice the butterfly on the back of this flower as well as the more obvious one. Note also that the head of the butterfly is at the bottom, not the top of the wings!
