Currently I'm sitting here with my trusted Xacti out of commission and traveling in it's home country of Japan-local company I deal with sent it back for some warranty work. It decided to stop letting me use view finder...ack...tragedy. Good news is I took some shots before that happened and they are below.

This spot is at the end of one of my favorite stretches of road nearby. A stretch of farm land at the edge of the city and county. I love cruising through there especially when the rice is tall as in picture. This one has the added beauty of red lanterns to contrast.

Kevin forlorn? Hardly-just a lull in the action. He had one close call on a ball thrown up into bleachers by Giants player.

Local Taichung pitcher playing for Giants now.

Getting ready to start the festivities-exhibition series between Taiwan La New Bears team and Japanese Yomiuri Giants "B" team.

Hmm, what does he see?

Outfield can be a pretty lonely place.

Blue Girl, oh why are you so blue... if you had tea I would have bought 1 from you...

I kick a***es and take names-because that's how I roll!
