Pitching for the Southwest Michigan Devil Rays against the Swing of the Quad Cities, 6/13/2006. I miss baseball. And I miss the great seat I used to have in Battle Creek's ballpark.

Today's 2018 Charlotte (MI) Bluegrass Festival preview brings you Sideline . I've managed to get the entire band into this photo, which was more difficult than you might think. Here's Nathan Aldridge (fiddle), Steve Dilling (banjo), Troy Boone (mandolin), Jason Moore (bass), Brad Hudson (dobro), and Skip Cherryholmes (guitar) at the Marshall Bluegrass Festival last July 29. Aldridge has moved on--he's now fiddlin' with IIIrd Tyme Out--and we'll be seeing Daniel Greeson with this band on June 22. This is the only band in this week's set not photographed at Charlotte--because next week will be their first Charlotte appearance. I'm looking forward to it; Steve Dilling, in particular, is a long-time favorite.

A different angle on a tree I've often photographed over the past couple dozen years. Michigan Audubon's Baker Sanctuary on Veterans Day in 2015.

In 2003 I was writing sort of a blog about the Battle Creek Yankees and took this photograph to illustrate it. Non-baseball events overtook that project and it's long-since been taken down; perhaps someday I'll restore it. The pitcher's Sam Smith of the South Bend Silver Hawks, and the ballyard's CO Brown Stadium in Battle Creek's Bailey Park. Photo taken 6/23/2003.
