Mostly Sports

We start this blog with photographs from the first game of the Johnstown Chiefs' twentieth season in the East Coast Hockey League and we end with a few shots of fall's colors.


Mark Letestu of the Wheeling Nailers jaws it up with Andrew Penner of the Johnstown Chiefs during the pregame warm up.


Past and present members of the club, owners, and staff participated in a pregame ceremony in which they received team jerseys.


Although it was not a full house, the stands did have a lot of loyal fans in attendance for the game.

This White Breasted Nuthatch knocked itself silly by flying into our storm door. I immediately grabbed my camera, went outside, picked the bird up and shot 53 pictures of it before it regained it's senses and flew away. This picture was shot with the bird sitting on my left hand pointer finger.
