One of the things that I like about going to the outdoor sporting events in the fall at Fredericksburg Academy, is the chance to watch my grandson play soccer and my granddaughter's field hockey team.  It takes me back to the days when I watched my three children participate in a number of different sports.  It was tough for me to miss a game.  These days it is usually my grandchildren that I get to watch.

With my camera always handy, I have hundreds (maybe thousands) of photos showing one or another taking part in horse shows, swim meets, softball, soccer, basketball, or flag football.  I also soak up the scenery.  Yesterday while watching a soccer game I couldn't get over how pretty the trees looked and what fun the clouds seemed to be having as they traversed the sky.  We had abundant clouds set against a beautiful blue sky which seemed to be saying to me, "Take my picture so you can enjoy me over and over again."  I did and I will.  I hope you do too.

Hi Kathleen,  It is fun to keep a camera handy....You never know what beautiful things you'll see. Here in Seacoast NH the foliage is quite beautiful at the moment. It doesn't last long thought.....sadly the beautiful leaves fall to the ground. I love taking pix.

Kate  I love blue sky pictures - we use them to enhance rainy day photos.  BTW Did your grandson's team win?

Kate,

How wonderful of you to share those photos, thank you.  I know what you mean in terms of enjoying the scenery.  My son was in soccer last season and now basketball as is my daughter.  Many times I find myself snapping pics, usually on my blackberry and then mobile upload.  The quality isn't the same of course but now when I am in a moment I find myself wanting to capture it.

Your pics are just lovely.

Hi Patricia...Yes, the leaves change and then fall much too quickly.  Enjoy while you can.

Hi Martha...The sky kept changing but I was so happy to have gotten the second photo.  For a while the blue behind the clouds was so intense.

Hi Ellen...I do too.  It is always a treat to spend time downtown and on the other pretty streets in the historic district.

Hi Rebecca...I seldom am without a camera and when I am I invariably see something I want to capture.

It's great that your children are physically active and that you have the opportunity to share that with them.  It's priceless for all of you.

Hi Jane...I am so fortunately.  I have a bunch of wonderful grandchildren.  They bring me so much happiness.  I love being able to share these times with them.  My children like me to be there also.  They make sure I know their schedules.
