April 22: The best laid plans of mice and men - and photographers. Like a hunter stalking game in the African bush I had planned my approach. I was hunting for the prized trophy of a candid shot. I moved ever so slowly, so quietly. I didn't want to spook the gathering of the soccer… Continue reading Daily sports photo #313
April 18: Coming at ya. It's always amazed me how fast some softball pitchers can throw the ball. And because there's no mound and the ball is thrown underhand, there is far less stress placed on the shoulder and some girls can pitch on, and on and on.

April 17: It's unanimous. The tongue is a vital part of every sport. The athlete must train hard and be able to hold the tongue at the right position at the right time.

April 16: Ouch, hurts me just looking at this. The keeper did a swan dive trying to block a shot. Unfortunately, she was unsuccessful in stopping the ball from finding the back of the net.

April 7: Spring hasn't completely sprung but it's getting there. While high school football is normally played in the fall, in 2021 many schools are playing in the late winter and early spring. There's something idyllic about an early evening game with reasonably warm weather and a setting sun. Especially when your team scores a… Continue reading Daily sports photo #306
April 6: Finally. Finally. Finally there was something for the kids to celebrate. And celebrate they did. There were crazy shouts, cheering, sky-high chest bumps, running around, and a few moments of quiet reflection. The cause of the celebration?
