Eric waits patiently playing second base. Note: ready position actually means bending your knees with your glove at the ready. Seven-year-olds can only maintain that position for so long, and I can’t blame them; there are no strikeouts in Junior Minors, so games can be very, very long. One more game to go Tuesday night. Need to hurry back from work.

One last word on this one: I went with a larger aperture (f5.6), which kept Eric in sharp focus while softening the leaves in the background. In short, I’m beginning to learn what the all the buttons do on my Nikon (’bout time).
