Sunset series seven from last night

 

 

 

 

 

Sunset number six

I realize I've taken many sunset pictures recently, but on these hot days it's a pleasant time to walk around the pond.

I believe that serious photographers look down on these type photos as clichés. I don't care because the sky always looks different to me, and I like the beauty of sunrise and sunset. Once in a while at the beach I'll manage to get out early for the sunrise, but other than that it's going to be sunsets. Besides, it's my blog so I don't care what anyone else thinks.

This one was taken last Friday.

Nats Game on Wednesday

I go to one or two games a year, and it seems like each time the Nationals lose. The first picture shows Sean Doolittle taking the mound in the tenth inning against the Braves. Although Sean has been our most dependable relief pitcher, he gave up the game-winning homer.

Earlier in the game I took this picture of Anthony Rendon at bat:

Comparing the two photos above, I notice the bluer sky later in the game. The bluer sky also brought more sunlight and higher temperatures. Still, I had a good time, and I'm glad I went.
