		22 x 26 June 12 "Baseball Lights" At sunset in the summertime, the last of the thunderheads fizzle out in the east. On the horizon are the baseball stadium lights for Manor High School, where the summer leagues play each night. At about this time of the evening, the little frogs in the tanks (peepers) are raising a chorus over the fields...my FAVORITE time of year!
