I don’t follow sports. Team sports especially. Not that I have anything against them. I’ve just never been ‘into’ them. I think to a degree my disinterest is rubbing off on my kids. The in-laws though are a different matter. Three boys, dad a rabid sports fan, yep, balls were outlawed in the house several years (and picture frame, glass vases, porcelain figurines) ago. So they joined up with the local Boys and Girls club. Fun stuff to go and watch, our kids love seeing ‘Scuzons” running around, and I get to take photos. I know a deeper knowledge of the game would help, but they are 5th graders for crying out loud.
This last Saturday was the final game for the youngest (t-ball) and the middle child (flag football). We just missed the t-ball but were able to watch the entire flag football game. Lots to shoot, and some good times. The MVP was a girl, and she had some skills, but as I only knew one of the kids on the filed, I am sticking with the ‘anonymous feet’ photo.

I like this photo and its sense of presence, the earthiness about it. A.A.
