Blazers on Ice!

To the surprise of many, Montgomery Blair High School does in fact have an ice hockey team. Although it is not an official winter sport of the school, the team does exist. It exists like crew and frisbee, as club sports. The ice hockey team combines with Northwood High School and Albert Einstein High School in order to have a sufficient number of players. The Blair ice hockey team is led by some of CAP's finest, Assistant Captain Max K and Captain Sebastian R. Friday marked the kickoff of the season. On Friday night the Blair hockey team took on the DC Stars at the Rockville Ice Arena. Although the game was lost by the Blazers, it was close and came down to the wire. High school hockey is one of the greatest things. It combines the intense fun game of hockey to the passionate dedication to supporting your school. Friday's attendance numbers were down due to the late start time but in the future, Blair hockey games will serve to be the hot spot on Friday nights.

Come out to support the Blair ice hockey team on Friday nights at various ice rinks around the area!

Friday's game was captured by the steady hand of photographer Peter B.

Color of the Leaves

In my video above I intended to capture the beauty of the foliage around me in my daily routine. My favorite part of the fall is the changing of the leaves and the pretty colors. For this project I used my phone and the iMovie app. This covers the prettiest part of my day, the journey home from school. As I take the bus and walk the trees around me cease to amaze. Also walking my puppy when I get home and the drive to hockey practice along Sligo creek and scenic Wheaton Regional Park.

Niagara Falls

Over the weekend I visited Niagara Falls with my hockey team to compete in a tournament. We ended up having lots of time away form the rink that we spent at the falls on both sides of the border. On one of the days we visited the US Falls and viewed them from the observation deck. The next night we crossed the border into Canada to get a better view of the Canadian Falls and both of them at the same time. This presented me with a great time to take pictures from the bridge and both sides of the border to capture the beauty in the falls. Using my phone, this gave me an opportunity to use the panorama feature and capture even more of the falls at once. Unfortunately, for me the falls got a little boring cause after a while it is just water crashing over some rocks. But what a site it was at first.
