weekly winners: mother’s day


May 10-16, 2009

We had a lovely Mother’s Day. Both of our mothers live out of state and too far for a one-day trip, so we had no family obligations.

I started the day off with a run in one of my favorite neighborhoods. I really wish I had some of these views from my front porch!

After my run, I got ready quickly to head up to Baltimore. A friend of mine won tickets to the Yankees/Orioles game, but couldn’t go. We gladly took his place. And they were awesome seats, too — three rows behind the Yankees’ dugout. We’re originally from New York, and have a cat named Jeter, so this was obviously a good thing!

It was nice of the O’s bird to bring his mom to the game on Mother’s Day!

In other news … another kitty has been visiting our yard lately. We assume he’s a stray, but he’s pretty friendly. Maybe he’s just really hungry and doesn’t mind us being there. If he sticks around, I’ll have to try to trap and neuter the little guy. (Sorry, dude. It’s for your own good!)

  1. Great game shots! Nice capture of Jeter.

    Cute stray. Must have been the week for them. My son found a tiny black kitten.

  2. ” Good view” is such a strong picture, you should turn it into a poster and hang it on your wall. Or sell it to hang on other people’s walls!

  3. Nice action shots of the baseball game, and of Jeter! I love the photo of the two chairs by the water with the bridge in the background – GOOD STUFF!

    Till next week.

  4. Awwwwwww…cute kitty! And have you ever considered becoming a professional sports photographer…perhaps for Sports Illustrated? Great shots!

  5. Those game shots are phenomenal! It looks like you had a great time. I also love the shot of the bridge with the chairs – nice job!

  6. wow looks like you had a fun weekend!!! i recognize those rocks and that water front, LOVE IT! 🙂 I really need to go down there for a run sometime (even if it is a 40 min drive, haha). gorgeous!!

    I’m sad I’ll be missing out on the ZOOMA 10K and possible blogger-meet up with you! I’ll definitely run the November one you mentioned if I’m around that weekend! 🙂

  7. I’ll give you a million dollars for that picture of Derek Jeter.

    Ok. Not really. Those pictures are so awesome! I’m jealous!
