Every year, as the school year ends, seniors graduate, juniors become seniors, etc, etc, we are struck by the milestones, the passage of time and the changes that inevitably occur. Considering the spectacle of the wiffle ball tournament, it's clear that much of our youth is growing older,but not up- which, if they are lucky, is a trait that will remain with them for a long time.
Ok- the song title is worked in, mushy stuff is over..... onto the photos....
One of the interesting things about still photography is how a moment is frozen forever. As a result, there are things that can be seen in a photo that may be missed in "real time".

It must be a baseball thing....
Hide behind the bat Carly. That will work....
Some teams even brought coaches along, to help insure victory. Here we see a coach working with Kelly, telling her to keep her elbow high as she bats. Seconds later, here's Kelly batting.
Here's a player putting his best face forward for the camera- can anyone name that Royal?
Timing is everything. Sorry Erin!
Alright- enough. Summer hiatus awaits.....
