Not The French Open  :) by peggysirk

Not The French Open :)

This is a shot of a park league player I snapped as I was walking by the tennis courts. It was either this, or a shot of my new car tires for today's post. I'm determined to do better in keeping up with 365 posts/commenting this month. Hopefully I'll get a little better with my photos as well. :)

Three good things:
1. The month of June
2. My 80 year old mom is tough to keep up with...she's wearing me out. :) I'm thrilled to have her living so close!
3. Fresh tomatoes
Was he playing tennis or league? Like your three things!

A terrific shot Peggy......a little bit of HDR? I love people photos like this & he is walking very purposely towards those courts...good calf muscles too so looks like he plays quite a bit!!
Love it when mums keep up, no worries there then !!!!

Thanks, Pat. I think I used a touch of 'clarity' to bring all the fencing into clearer focus.
My mom totally amazes me...she's 79, but proudly claims to already be 80. And she goes non-stop from the time she wakes up until the time she goes to bed at night. She's been in her new house for two weeks and has met everyone on her street, has joined two bridge clubs, been to two dinner parties, spent the day yesterday doing a garden tour with some of her new neighbors, joined a morning 'walking group', has yoga class and book club on her calendar....I could go on, but you get the picture. I'm going to have to get in shape to keep up with her. :)

I like your 3 good things that you've listed. I miss my mom, and am so glad you are enjoying your mom now and I hope she has many more years:)
I've been horrible about keeping up with 365 too. It's hard isn't it?
the fences add a nice element to this shot! there is one on both sides of the man, right?

Nicely done, and I wish I could still play tennis, but really leery with my knees the way they are. too much quick back and forth action. Hey tires are good too.

Whoa, your mom sounds pretty awesome! Funny to read Pat's comment above. That was my first thought when I looked at this photo - those calf muscles!
