Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

Well, we went undefeated in in pool play, 3-0 in matches, 9-0 in sets and pulled the number 2 seed. But we were the only undefeated team. :evil: :evil: :evil: As always if you are bored. https://www.flickr.com/photos/34photography/albums Ryanne had to do some outside hitting. She got up and got most...

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

LOVE the moon in the background!! :D :D Thank you. Usually, I'm on top of the moon for great shots and completely missed it that night. Tried to get shots with it in the background. I can go into a lot of detail about the BS I see from coaches all over the county that have no idea what they are doi...

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

He's the only one that has pitched a complete game. Across the board. Freshman, C-Team, JV, Varsity and he is a catcher that doesn't get to catch! :lol: :evil: :pirate:

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

The first game we lost 10-0. Might have been better if Bub was catching. The second we game we won 13-2. Bub was pitching. He is on a different level. This isn't a biased uncle speaking. It is a photographer that sees the game like no one else. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52797955691_89ec6f4...

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

Bub was the 10th batter in the first game on Saturday. A DH plus a 10th hitter. :roll: Came in to pitch and shut everyone out. Caught the second game. I can't remember ever caring about seeing the Easter Bunny. The kids were thrilled. The girls all smiled and giggled and just talked and talked to me...

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

Oh, and I get to miss my first Bub game since Guns N' Roses played at Arrowhead and I only missed the second game of double-header that night. A 'friend' asked me to fill in for 'him' and I get to be the Easter Bunny. Everyone has been telling me to go to the game. If I get my 8 millionth picture of...

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

Thank you! The secret to being a good at photography is just shooting what you love. I think back to Stripes. "Lighten up, Francis" Well, everyone else can be light, I need to be miserable SOB. :D :pirate: :lol: It pays off. Bub, got moved up from Freshman team to C-Team. Climbing the ladd...

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

Too much of the time, I make things about myself, not the most important people. They took a 'nice' picture, then everything went crazy. It was a lot of fun. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52763171589_f39eda535f_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52762925656_dd4bb04e5a_b.jpg https://live...

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

The Ravens take two steps forward and three steps back... Bub prepares to move on. When Bub first started school I remember a set of parents saying that Brock, was a bad kid. Not a bad seed, not a trouble maker, but a bad kid. They were kindergarteners. They didn't know anyone or anything. How is th...

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

Bub prepares to move on... Major level player moves to a major team. Okay, scratch that, personal rant for a moment. Dad had his leg amputated. The carpet was a hassle for him to walk over. The folks' decided to replace most of the carpet with flooring. The 'flooring guy' didn't bother to let them k...

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

A little volleyball intermission. How many people are so lucky to take a minor interest turn into a growing hobby that evolves into a living and breathing passion. That gets to have as much fun as me. That goes beyond an iPhone snapshot that is forgotten and becomes an important part of world histor...

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

The Ravens start at the 'bottom'. A double A team. We take our time. We work our way up. Our coach does the hardest thing and cuts players. Players we all like, but he does the best thing for the team. This is not a club team, it's buddies, friends. The coach does what he can for the team as a whole...

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

The Sharks explode (see what I did there? :wink: :lol: ) and the rise of the Ravens. At this point, Bub is separating himself from the rest of the team. I still am not 'really' noticing. I'm having fun. I'm shooting pictures, getting to know the parents, grandparents, the players, the sibling. I'm r...

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

I have pictures processing and nothing else to think about today. If I don't write this down, it ceases to exist. It doesn't matter. Before Bub could play organized sports, the 'outlaws' signed him for karate. His first class one of the dad's came up and said to my brother in law(Kelb) "He's re...

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

So many things to cover. First off. What an exciting weekend of volleyball. KC Storm - Black(Ryanne's team) & KC Storm - Blue, both had a great weekend. They both played well through the pool play and ended up in the gold bracket! For the first time they got to play against each other in an impo...

I went through the season so far and picked out my favorite shots and made them black and white.

I struggle to decide if like color or black and white better. They both have great reasons to be great.

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

Bub, Brock, Hank and Cole all made the team. And this is all I know. It took Cole over 2 hours to hear whether he made it or not.

Re: 2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

Bub is a high schooler, now. This week has been high school baseball tryouts. Bub is absolutely sure that he is not going to make the team. :roll: First off they have, Varsity, JV, Freshman and C-Team, baseball teams. Bub did a prep baseball event. He got invited to another one. 1. He is at the top ...

2023 Storm, Ravens, Hornets

The Storm started the season on New Year's Eve. They have played a handful of tournaments. 3 second place finishes. A couple of duds. They played one on Super Bowl Sunday. That was a cluster deluxe. Ryanne has become a sniper. The coach instructs her where to serve the ball and she does. She is all ...
