My world, with antelope





Photos by Richard Schear

This is where the deer and the antelope play (although I've never seen them play together). I've seen our dog Lindy want to play with them, but my husband Dick hasn't allowed it so far, and I hope he never does. These wild and pretty Pronghorn Antelope can run very, very fast!
Today's photos were taken on Sunday at an off-leash dog-walking area on the north side of the city of Medicine Hat, Alberta. The antelope were grazing near the walking path, and moved when Dick and Lindy got too close, but didn't run, merely trotted away as if unconcerned.
On the horizon, in the first photo, you can see a blue line -- those are the Cypress Hills, on the border of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
I like the last two photos because they show the grandstand at the baseball park. When I first lived in Medicine Hat, the rookie league team for the Toronto Blue Jays played here. I wish they still did!

Kay visits Giant Pandas in San Diego

Dick and I went to San Diego for the finals of the first World Baseball Championship, which we both enjoyed. We even met people who recognized our Medicine Hat Blue Jays baseball caps. I insisted we also have "Kay's Day at the Zoo" because I'd fallen in love with the San Diego Zoo's Giant Pandas via their panda cam. We saw Su Lin (my second panda cam cub) 'way up in a tree, and her mother, Bai Yun, down below with her back to the crowd. However, daddy Gao Gao is a real ham, and he put on quite an act for us, rolling on his back and flirting upside down with the lady tourists.
