One Woman's Quest II 
We had an American exchange teacher who played amateur league and came here to play in the state squad, he taught us how to play, but I was never fully sold on it. I’d prefer bird watching, and I’m glad to see these.

Loved baseball as a kid – when I could play – but it’s boring as heck to watch (my opinion).

I agree, I loved watching sport on TV as a kid, but by my late teens I hated the waste of time and the inane commentary. I think golf, bowls, darts, and cycling are top of my list of boring to watch.

LOVE it. I know where all the Osprey nests are along the I-90 route I regularly drive between Seattle and Spokane! One time, I stopped by a beautiful river to check out a noise from my car and was startled by the regal bird diving down from behind me, JUST over my head, into the river, and coming up with a huge fish!
No time for my camera but a beautiful visual memory (and auditory, as I heard the “swoop”!)

Great photos, VJ. I bet you weren’t expecting that. Did you have your binoculars trained on them for the whole game? Regards. Tracy.
