I love the crisp focus on Kevin (#3) with the water drops falling off of him as he runs to join his team in the pre-kickoff huddle.
There were not a lot of great photos from this game. In part this is due to my having to leave at half-time to take an injured player to the emergency room to have his arm x-rayed. Fortunately it was not broken.
See more photos from this game in the WUSTL at Fontbonne 2014 photo gallery.
While Mia and Ella were exploring the small trickle of water that is River des Peres in Heman Park, I decided to entertain myself and see if I could get any interesting images. By changing from the typical perspective, I think a few of the images I made are worthy of sharing.
A few more images from the day are in my Heman Park Water gallery.
Here is a full view of the scene.
Olivia invited some friends to go bowling to celebrate her 14th birthday. Watching ten young teenage girls hangout at a bowling alley was quite enlightening.

So many street photography black and white. Today I decided to compare the color images to the same as a black and white ones.
I honestly don't know which I prefer. At times I like the colors and at times the simplicity of black and white is more interesting.
This year was probably one of the best vacations to Colorado we have had in a long time.
We started down south in Colorado Springs with a customary visit to Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs. We are obviously bigger fans of the fresh sweets than the spring water. Topping both was the zipline adventures. Jenn and my dad were a little nervous, but Olivia and Mia loved to let go and enjoy the ride.
Although it embarrassed the girls, we did get our photo at what I like to call the intersection of love.
When we made it up to Loveland our time was spent either enjoying good food and beer, or having fun on the lake. Olivia did a little water skiing, but "couching" was the favorite activity, by far.
To end the trip we watched fireworks over the lake from the comfort of home. Nothing better.
