Orange Morning

This is almost a straight out of camera shot. I lightened it a little and sized it to fit here. This is Snow Goose Pool on Assateague island, the beach is just beyond those trees.

Vlad

Vladimir Guerrero was an Oriole this season. Vlad played for the Harrisburg Senators while moving up through the Montreal Expos organization, making the bigs in 1996. He played for the Expos until 2003, then moving on to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 2004 to 2009. After that he spent one year in 2010 with the Texas Rangers and this past season with the O's. A lifetime .318 hitter he had a .290 batting average this year. Other career statistics include 449 home runs, and on base percentage of .379 and 2147 hits. On September 26, 2011, just 8 days after we saw him play, he hit that 2147th hit which put him on top of hits by a Dominican born player. Vlad is also a  9 time All-Star and the 2004 American League MVP. Will he play again next year? Will he see his plaque in Cooperstown?

The Fluke

After all these years that I've been taking pictures at the beach. And after all the pictures I've taken of dolphins swimming along the coast. I have finally captured my first fluke. My daughter thought I was nuts when she saw me jumping up and down on the beach, but hey, how many pictures do you have of a dolphins tail out of the water? That's what I thought. Me? One.

Good Morning

One never really knows what the day will bring. Sometimes that's the thought that puts my feet on the floor in the morning. Have a nice day, I know I will. 

This picture was taken 2 years ago today.

Purple

This is a weed. Growing randomly along some dirt road. Look around people, beauty is all around you.

Lansford Fire and EMS

This is the American Fire Company #1 in Lansford, Carbon County, PA. Carbon County District 15. Across East Patterson Street is Lansford EMS. Their website is old and hasn't been updated since 2007. What I did find there was that they were chartered in 1894 and share their building with the Borough of Lansford. I would say the main building was built in 1906 but I have no idea when the additions were built. The EMS building appears to be an old store front or maybe a garage.
