Someone fenced in acres and acres of corn. It’s like a giant corn gulag. I can only surmise that the neighbors got sick of long dead baseball players coming out of the corn at night to play baseball in on their lawns.

I was outside trying to get pics of some of the old WWII planes flying around for the local airshow and I got bored waiting for the planes to fly by. This wasp was busy building a new nest under the overhang that covers our front walkway. She didn’t seemed too pleased with me taking her picture.

Ups and Downs of the Week

Red Sox – Back on top, but they blew another chance to gain a game tonight. This quixotic quest for Wakefield’s 200th win is costing them games. They need another starting pitcher or we won’t go far in the post-season.

Hurricane Irene – This storm could make a mess of New York and New England.

Formula One – After a 3 week summer break, it’s back this weekend at Spa, one of the world’s great tracks.

Caught this guy snoozing in the trees out back. Later his sibling came along and snuggled up.

It’s all fun and games when a moth makes it into the house.

Here’s a 100% crop of her eye from the previous pic. Look closely and you can see the railings and roof overhang of my porch as well as the trees in the yard. I love prime lenses.

Ups and Downs of the Week

Red Sox – Still trading the top spot with the Yankmees, but the injuries are beginning to pile up again. No bunch of Cal Ripkens here. They’ve taken two in a row against the Royals, but they should. Can’t continue losing series to lesser teams.
