Aww Mondays

I was cleaning out some of the files on my portable hard drive. That's where I store my images. I ran across this image of our grandson from 2009. I believe that was his first season of playing baseball, or T-ball in his case. The Big Guy was five when this was taken. He will be thirteen in September. Whenever I come across an image of the grand kids, when they were young, all I can say is Awww.  Have a blessed day.

Ruby Tuesday Too

Steeeerike Three!

Spring is officially here and that means little league baseball.  In this image a young batter from the opposing team is caught looking at strike three.  That will happen a lot to these aspiring boys of summer.  It is part of the learning process.  He will soon learn to recognize a pitch that is coming into his strike zone.  He may not hit every one of them, but there will be fewer times that he is caught looking at strike three.  I love this time of year.  There are few things more entertaining than a day at the ball park with a bunch of eleven-year-olds.

The Boys of Summer 2010

Little League season is already over.  I am taking this Ruby Tuesday opportunity to post a few of the photos I took of my grandson's team this season.  This is their second year.  Last year was Tee-ball and this year was machine pitch.  I believe next year will be coach pitch and by the time they are nine years of age they will have to hit off of a pitcher their own age.  My wife and I go to most of the games.  I take the opportunity to capture a few images of the game.  Later I print them and give the prints to the parents the following week.  It's a lot of fun for everyone.  The following photos may not qualify as Ruby Tuesday's, but they do qualify as fun.  Take me out to the ballgame.  The grandson is in none of the photos in this post.

 Strike Two!

 I Love This Game

 I Am "Baseball Ready"!

I have to admit, I love photographing kids sports.  The emotions are honest and real.  The love of the game is obvious and some of the expressions are priceless.  Come back tomorrow.  I have a feeling that my Wordless Wednesday will be more of the same.

Ruby Tuesday

Okay, so I made my own Ruby Tuesday badge from last week's photo. I don't think Mary will mind, do you? No, the head from last week does not go with the shoes from this week, and the neither belong to my grandson. The helmet belongs to an opposing player, the shoes belong to a team mate. I just thought they were appropriate for Ruby Tuesday.
