Liam's soccer, Sep 2010 - 05

(More details later, as time permits)

 

**************************************

 

One of my grandsons loves two sports: baseball and soccer. But he loves soccer more, influenced perhaps by his father's Irish origin. He probably started kicking a soccer ball as soon as he could walk; but in any case, he has been playing in the local kids' soccer league for the past three years. It's been amazing to watch how much better all of the kids have gotten during this period: they not only kick the ball in the general direction where they're aiming, but they actually pass the ball to their teammates and follow what certainly appears to be a coherent strategy.

 

There are games every weekend, but it looks like my travel and work schedule will only make it possible for me to attend two of the games this season. Naturally I bring my camera gear with me, and I do my best to take photos of everyone on my grandson's team ... though I must confess that I'm not a sufficiently good sport to photograph all of the kids on the opposing team. After all, those kids have got their own set of camera-happy parents and grandparents, right?

 

Anyway, I took some 900+ photos of this weekend's game, and you can relax with the news that I've culled out a mere 45 that I felt were worth editing, tweaking and uploading to Flickr.

 

Enjoy!
