The clouds over Lake Merritt yesterday were perfect.

Was just looking through my baseball photos from this past summer and stumbled upon a bunch of A's game photos, and now I'm sad/angry again that the @mlb.bsky.social let John Fisher steal this team from Oakland.

Photo of Oakland Coliseum 2 hrs before the final game that the Oakland A's played at the stadium.

Night photo of the Oakland Coliseum field, the last night game the Athletics played at the Coliseum.

A man holding a sign that says, "Don't take away her stomper," referring to his young daughter (or of frame), second sign is unreadable due to my phone's exposure. Oakland Coliseun field is in the background. I think this photo is from the Reverse Boycott game in 2023.

A man in an Oakland A's jacket and baseball cap holding a sign that says, "John Fisher Rob Manfred Hate Baseball" with a picture of John Fisher wearing a clown nose and Manfred with a clown wig and nose.

Some more photos from last season of the Ballers. The guy in the last photo was hyping up the crowd, he was great. Can't wait for baseball season to start again!

A kid standa on the denze to look out over the Ballers' baseball game towards the end of the game. It's night time with some glare from the stadium lights.

Go follow the Ballers! They come Sally approved (the little pup in the 1st photo who attended a handful of games with her mom and me this past summer)

Sally, a very small black pup with a greying face who is a big fan of Oakland baseball.

It's a bucolic place to drive through, even though I have complicated feelings about my hometown.

If you're ever driving through Western MD in the summer, my family's orchard, Pryor's Orchard, is nice to stop at. Another nearby orchard, Catoctin Mountain Orchard, is open year round and has amazing pies.

I'm feeling a little homesick, so I'm just going to share some photos from my hometown. Might need to make some fried oysters and crab cakes to quell this homesickness.

Little background: My cover photo is the view of the mountain range my paternal side of my family has lived in since 1780. Technically, my childhood home is in this photo, though you can't see it through the dense trees.

In Oakland, they also ignore parking signs

Omg their page just got updated to adopted a few min ago 😭🙏 hopefully the other priority pups have the same good news coming! Havana says, "come adopt me, we'll be best friends!" www.oaklandanimalservices.org/rescue-neede...

Sometimes, when I'm feeling depressed/anxious, I'll just ride some ferries around the Bay, and the other week, I decided to ride the ferry to Treasure Island for the first time. If you ever want to see more cormorants than you could ever imagine, this is apparently the place to go.

For some reason that link above doesn't always autoload the urgent pups but these two are a bonded elderly pair whose euthanasia date was 2 days ago but are still listed as available so hopefully they got an extension. Shar and Sugar need a home asap! www.oaklandanimalservices.org/rescue-neede...

Signal boosting for East Bay folks, Oakland Animal Services (OAS) is beyond capacity and have quite a few dogs who are nearing their euthanasia dates 😭 If you have been on the fence about adopting or fostering a pup, there's no better time than now!! www.oaklandanimalservices.org/rescue-needed/

One thing I really miss about the east coast is fall weather but every so often there are days here that feel like fall and they make me so happy.

Truly, what will I do without this??

Oh what great neighbors to have, hope you get some great shots this spring! Great blue herons are incredible, you're so lucky to have a nearby rookery. I'm not sure where they roost near me, but they're one of the many birds that go hunting in Lake Merritt in downtown Oakland.
