MSU's Beal Garden was kind of dramatic this morning...,

Matt pitches for the Central Michigan University Chippewas and was the losing pitcher yesterday despite pitching five strong innings--the sixth was a problem, but the bigger problem was the shutout Western's Chad Mayle threw at the Chips. Original photo (not much different) here . 99 game photographs--none especially good-- here .

Back into first. Theo plays for the Western Michigan University Broncos; the first baseman is Ryan Krill of the Michigan State University Spartans. Original photo here . 588 game photographs here .

Purdue Boilermakers @ Michigan State Spartans at McLane Stadium (Kobs Field) in East Lansing. Just a few days ago this ballyard was largely underwater . Hard to believe. State won by an 8-1 score. The teams meet again tomorrow, and Sunday. Original photo here . 885 game photographs (and a video!) here .

University of Michigan Wolverine outfielder Zach Zott gets a piece of a pitch from Michigan State's Andrew Waszak , yesterday at MSU's McLane Stadium. Great light, yesterday; look how the camera just stopped that ball. Then check out the shutter speed.... Original photo here . 632 game photos here .

Since I wanted something really different for the day's photographs, I headed for the MSU campus a year ago. I don't know Michigan State's campus as well as a student would, or even an alumnus, but generally speaking I can find my way around, especially if I stay near the Circle. Parked next to the Natural Science Building on Farm Lane, then headed in the direction of Beal Garden. ========== The Natural Science Building's a sprawling, not-particularly-attractive building. I used to occasionally wander into the library in the building, researching something or other in what seems like another life. This pic's more or less from where I parked my car. ========== To the extent the trip had a specific destination, that was Beal Garden. Where I found the new-since-I-last-looked gate I photographed for 366 Snaps . ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . Number of project photos taken: 65 Title of " roll :" Michigan State Campus Other photos taken on 7/12/2012: The Daily Flower Census returned after a brief outage. The yard was simply awesome.

Beal Garden's one of my favorite Lansing-area places. A year ago I posted this one in color . ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . 366 Snaps project discussion and stats for July 12 .

The reason I learned MSU's campus is the school's great library, where I used to spend entire days. It's really a rather unattractive building, but if you're careful you can make it look good. I'm also posting a different crop of this photo. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . 366 Snaps project discussion and stats for July 12 .
