Brewers game

Currently one of the local grocery store chains is offering a Milwaukee Brewers tickets promotion. I don't ever mind sitting in the cheap seats, especially when the tickets are free! Jake and I were fortunate enough to see a win on Monday night, which is no guarantee when the team has a 12-21 record.

The famous sausage race. This game was pretty engaging with lots of hits and scoring, including multiple home runs. However, sometimes the sausage race is definitely more exciting. The Polish sausage was the clear winner at this game.

How's your baseball team doing this year?

photo share: familiar territory

I walk through the VA grounds in Milwaukee just about every week when the weather is at least halfway decent. Most of the time I don't have my camera with me. As I've photographed the area quite a few times over the past few years, I have to challenge myself to find new perspectives on the place. Last week I rose to the challenge yet again and took some pictures of the nearby Miller Park as well.

What have you been photographing lately?

M is for Miller Park

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

If you've been following my blog for the past couple years, you've most likely seen at least a few of my pictures of Miller Park, which is the home of the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team. I've only been to a couple games there, but I've found a lot of excuses to take pictures of the stadium. Here are just a few of the highlights from the past two years.

Sometime I want to get a macro picture of that stop sign with Miller Park in the background.

I love how you can see the storm front behind the stadium.

Memorial Day Weekend 2013

Jake and I went to a Brewers game with my parents over Memorial Day weekend this year.

I have other pictures from inside the park but this set from Memorial Day is by far my best stuff there to date so that's what I'm sharing here today.

It had been raining off and on all day, but it let up long enough after the game that I got a few pictures of the flags on the VA grounds.

Check out what the other Alphabe participants posted for the letter M this week right here!

revisiting a favorite spot

If you've been reading my blog for a while now, you know that one of my favorite spots to walk in Milwaukee is through the VA grounds. The last time that I took pictures there before this excursion was December. Ridiculous, right? It was so great to be back there with my SLR. Enjoy.

 

 

This spot continues to be one of my favorite places in Milwaukee. Sometimes I feel silly photographing it over and over again, but I don't think that there is really anything wrong with that.

 

I love how you can see the front coming in behind the stadium.

I cannot believe that I had never photographed these bells before.

This is another one of those "why I love my neighborhood" shots that I took on the way home.

What is one of your favorite local spots to photograph?
