Daily Snap: More softballin'

Men's softball is big in Ashland ... there are three or four different adult leagues. With the older fellas, you learn to keep an eye on the basepaths. It's never necessarily the double play or stolen base, but the sneaky plays.

This was a race back to second base that the player on the left won, despite the effort of the shortstop showing the ball to the umpire.

Couple looks at 200mm at f/2.8 with the Canon 70-200 2.8L from a recent assignment at a Native American Pow-Wow Festival. BOKEH!

Daily Snap: Youth softball

This first one ran big on the sports cover, and I swear it has been my most talked about photo of the year. Wherever I go, people tell me how they LOVE it.

I'll take it.
