Sore knees on Earth Day

Sore knees on Earth Day

Church of the Messiah The only thing I didn’t like about Earth Day was how my knees suffered at the end of a day of bike riding around and through Westerville.The good news is it’s a great day for being on your bike. The bad news is that you will hurt at the end of the day.

I didn’t mind the pain even if my photos were not extraordinary and somewhat pedestrian. I was on my bike, outside for hours, breathing spring air and taking in the earliest of green sprouts on the trees.

A small project I’ve been working on includes the Church of the Master at Otterbein. Usually it’s very difficult to get a good photo  because the two large trees out front cast great shadows across the front of the church in summer or it looks stark and uninviting in the bleak look of winter.

In early spring as the trees begin to show the chlorophyll greens of summer and the white blossoms of apple trees border the church my photography is a little easier.

That day was Earth Day this year.

Final minutes of play before storm arrives

Storm clouds over baseball field

Storm clouds move over baseball field at Huber Village Park

A youth baseball coach watches with one eye over his team during practice and with his other eye studies the progress of a storm front beginning to move into Westerville late in the afternoon.

After only several minutes of practice the team, and all the others playing in the park, were forced to leave as the sky darkened, the temperature fell about 15 degrees, and rain began to fall.
