Action shots!

WOW. Thanks friends for your encouragement and advice. I took some decent sports shots today. They won't be winning any awards, but at least I am proud enough to post them on Facebook and put them in a scrapbook (you know, if I did scrapbooks, that's exactly where I'd put these). I even took photos of kids who don't live in my home -- for practice, and because I like 'em like my own. My kids have grown up alongside a lot of their classmates and teammates, so that makes them pretty special to them -- and to their sentimental mom and dad, too!

For instance, this is a friend of Ryker's since we moved here when his mom was in MOPS with me. They never miss each other's birthday. 

And these two troublemakers are Bible study partners at church on Wednesdays and Sundays, too. Looks like they're strategizing here. 

Ryker -- letting the ball get a bit too far out of his grasp. 

And the girl guarding him took advantage of that. He looked at these photos later and said girls are no good at basketball. Can you believe he would say that? Does he know who his mom is? Does he notice what's happening in this photo? 


Girl or not, Ryker doesn't like having the ball stolen from him, so he goes in for the attack. 

And easily regains possession, though at their end of the court. 

Love this action shot of the coach's son. He's got his arm out -- good boy! But that isn't stopping the other player!

Thanks Chad for the tips. I think I'm finally getting somewhere. And thanks, Kim, for the lens. It totally rocks!!
