There are not fireworks after every game, but many minor league teams have them on weekends and such as it draws more people. For example, one minor league team I go to doesn’t draw great. But the 4th of July with massive fireworks … more than 10,000 people. I would assume the professional teams in Canada might have some fireworks, all depending. The Vancouver Canadians, for example, had eight fireworks nights in 2017 from what I can tell. They are a lot of fun though and a great way to end a game. This year, I saw 22 fireworks nights. And sunflowers are so amazing. By far my favorite flower.

It’s the beauty of baseball — so many things one can capture with a camera. The angles, the action, the people. And I agree.. being hit with a foul ball isn’t fun. Have to be on your toes!

And Wrigley allows me to cross off the second of the big three (LA is the other crossed off). That means Fenway is next. Hopefully next year!

Ha! That’s a great point. Kind of the “Well, duh!” sort of thing!

I do love fair food, but it’s so bad for you! I usually go in with a plan and try not to stray from it. That way, I know I can make it out semi-OK. 🙂

We didn’t do a lot of roaming the city, but I’ve been there before and have seen some of the main attractions. Seeing both stadiums in one day was perfect though!

Baseball takes up a lot of my time in the summer, so definitely lots of photos! I still think one day, I’d love to have my own field of sun flowers. Those fields always seem like perfect photo opportunities!

Wrigley Field was very cool to be at. I knew I needed to be behind the plate to really capture the stadium, especially at night. And sunflowers just seem to make me smile!

As many others have said, the sunflower photo at the end is the summer fun all-star in my books. We have never planted any, by my in-laws always grow some and I love to watch the bees crawl all over them! When I was visiting my parents in Osoyoos, BC, we saw some sunflowers that were very robust and reached to the roof line of the house beside the garden where they were planted! Must have been ideal growing conditions to supersize them like that!
