This week’s photo challenge asks us to share a photo that makes us relax. Hakan B. reminds us …”why it’s so important to make time to just relax.” Though the suggestions include meditation, a quiet walk or a day at the beach, I find a day at the ballpark to be just as relaxing. You can read the entire challenge post here.

Whether I find myself at a Cactus League spring training game in Arizona as in the photo above, or in Fargo at a Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks game (below), the three “B”s relax me… oh, that’s baseball, beer and burger, our usual fare at a ballgame.

While the game may not be relaxing for the participants, judging by the fans, it’s a very relaxing pastime for most. Looking forward to spring and the upcoming Cactus League season.
