Soccer Practice

 Not for me; for Lilly. I just watch. This one was informal, with just a handful of the girls wanting to get together for some practice (it was Labor Day, so formal practice had been canceled). I was thinking about helping out by shagging balls that miss the net, but then the sky started putting on a show, and that became my new priority. I guess that shows you where my priorities lie! Off I went, looking for the perfect shot!
It started out with blue skies with a mix if really interesting clouds.
 
It's generally a good idea not to stand behind the goal. See the ball coming in?
 
 
 
 
Searching for the perfect shot included a walk on the RR tracks.
 
Sky daggers.
 
The later it got, the more colorful the sky became.
 
 
 
 
The girls just kept playing, even in semi-darkness. Finally, the automatic sprinklers came on and that stopped them! I tried to time the photo to catch this water arch.
 
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you had a chance to get out and enjoy some pretty skies this week!

  2. You found the shots where you were. That's the extent of my photography now.

    I must confess that I had to stop and reread this: "I was thinking about helping out by shagging balls." Because, I kid you not, I kind of read '"my" where you have "by."
