Hope and Faith

Song - Always on My Mind by Willie Nelson



First it was a pitiful little nest....






Then mama began sitting on it.....





After several weeks mama, seemed to have abandoned the nest....

and my heart was broken.



Two days ago I saw a little head pop up from the seemingly empty nest. 

So yesterday I grabbed my camera and there was mama proud as can be.

Every time I checked the nest, I guess mom & dad were out on a date.

I think there may be two babies - if you can see the dark brown wing-feathers in the lower left of the nest - I am thinking it may be another baby under mama.

I have named them Hope and Faith. 

Happy Easter Weekend.

Boats, Planes and Bats

Song - Take Me Out to the Ball Game by Crazy Uke



On Monday morning, Mr. B and I drove over to the city and the first boat I noticed was "Little Toot".  I just love tug boats but I really don't know why. Just look at that massive ship it is guiding under the Bay Bridge.





And then we parked next to this little ship that I couldn't even fit on my camera from across the street. We met our good friends, Jodi and Chris at a restaurant near there.




And this is one of the last boats that I noticed.....quite the deal.  Hot tub, BBQ and cooler all while floating in McCovey's Cove.  And you probably guessed why we were in San Francisco.....it was the Giant's home opener!!!



The jets for the "fly over" circled while the cast of Hamilton sang the National Anthem.





A humongous flag was unfurled and you could feel the vibrations of the planes coming closer as the song ended.








And once they are over head and pass you by, the sound is deafening, exciting and fun!  Go Giants!





Let's Play Ball!






The usual cast of colorful characters were there.




Fans....





Hunter Pence without all of his hair.....




Buster Posey......




And.....see that bald head in a suit?


It's Barry Bonds back on the team as a special advisor to the CEO.
You just have to trust me on this one because I forgot to take his photo when he had a standing ovation so I looked through all of my fan photo's and this was all I could find....

Willie Mays and Willie McCovey, Kruk and Kype were there as well.





The Giant's won the opener 4-1 against the Arizona Diamondbacks!!!
Hooray!!!

Beautiful day with Mr. B and friends.  I even got a sunburn!
