    The little dudes

    After I broke my leg I got a little behind on my sports shots. These were taken right b4 my accident.













    My 3rd son. His big bros are anxious to watch him in sports. He's in the third grade and weighs 115 lbs and is 5' tall. He's gonna whomp on Antone and Brendan one day. He's supposed to be 6' 7" tall as an adult with Antone's long legs, but Brendan's big build. lol

    Looks like you had a nice cloudy day.

    I think 1 & 4 are the best ones.

    Wonderful JETA. Don't you just love this level of football. It's all about fun and enjoying the game. I have been shooting various small fry footballers since my little brother was playing. He is 41 now and coaching his son in small fry. I posted several of him last fall. I noticed the picture of you youngest son that you posted in the Cute Kid thread and noted than that he was going to be a force to reckon with in a very few years. Having two younger children will keep you an hubby young for a long time to come. Your images are marvelous as usual.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    I forgot I already posted him. lol He's grown an inch since the end of Jan. Cracks me up.

    The little guys are so much fun to shoot and a lot easier. I only shoot at 4 fps instead of 10. It really gears me up for the big guys and helps me before being thrown into their pit.

    Thanks OT!

    Don't you just love the little dudes. They play with so much intensity and emotion. Love your shots. I miss football so much.

    How is your leg by the way? Hope all is getting better.

    The eyes on #3 show it all. Eyes wide open and focused. Great color ect, but these are more than that. I love the little guys because they are passionate and play with such determination. It is what make sports great.

    AWESOME JOB !!!!!
