09 FOUL BALL!

Ok this might be another example of pushing the envelope of cheating. We went for a walk at Blackbob park, my foot still hurts like hell but I simply can’t keep sitting on my @ss all day, I just cant. Its not possible to keep up with Paula so I take a shorter different route than her which led me by an unoccupied baseball field. Strolling around like a crippled old man and noticed a baseball peaking out of a pile of leaves up against the fence. “Well what do we have here”…. I relocated it to a more suitable location and snapped a few.

Is there motion, not a chance but it’s obvious this baseball has had numerous past flights.

Sorry about your PF but selfishly glad it helped this field of dreams photo come to be.

It is plantar fasciitis and it has its ways of letting me to know who’s in charge, not me. First started in late September to early October and I’m so tired of it. I may have 2 or 3 days in a row where it’s feeling better and I’m thinking “great maybe I’m turning the corner “. Then days like yesterday lets me know how wrong I am.

Overall it is slightly improving because I will have a few good days now where in November and December it was unrelenting. Paul

As a long time baseball fan - I love this image.
It says to me "The season is over for now" . We are in the "hot stove league" for now.
If baseballs could talk, this one will have plenty of stories.

BTW, if it is Plantar fasciitis, I had that once or twice before I switched to New Balance walking shoes. They are a bit more expensive, but I have not had a foot problem since.

I am sorry about your foot...is this Plantar fasciitis? I guess I should consider myself lucky, that can be a real problem.

The image has a wistfulness to it, the blown leaves, the scuffed ball, the backstop fence...a childhood's life is there. Best Wishes, Travelelr
