Street Shot Tuesday '20 06

I caught this little girl trying to make a bid as the next substitution in this pickup basketball game. The ball was almost as big as she was, but you have to give her credit for her optimism.

It is a big ball - maybe basketball? Too big for football (soccer)! Oh, I see you have said, basketball but don't know what "pickup" means! Good for her!

[Lou Ann]

Such a great street scene, I bet one of those young men is her big brother!

[Peter]

Lovely street capture so well seen and captured Ron:)

[Peter Dulis]

Brave little lass, wading in among all those towering humans.
(About the "Rabbit" title for the teacups, sometimes I'm really reachin' for something new to say when it comes to titling these images.)

Great photo. I love pictures that tell stories. They are always my favorites. And this one is a real fav.

[Chris Johnson]

I think she's ready to make a slam dunk! Haha. Wonderful storytelling shot!

@maggiemae Pickup ball is basically street ball - not organized by a group or other supervision. A couple guys show up and they start to play and then they "pick up" others who want to join in. Maybe it's a yank term, I'm not sure.

@louannwarren That's a good thought! Having grown up without brothers and sisters, I lack the ability to recognize how siblings interact and learn.

@pcoulson Thanks, Peter. I knew I had to grab the shot as soon as I saw the scene. I'm just glad it came out, because I try to be as stealthy as I can when shooting these.

[Ron]

@pdulis Thanks very much Peter!

[Ron]

@lyndemc Thanks Denise. Your comment made me chuckle as those "towering humans" are barely teenage boys themselves. They were good though!

[Ron]

@mbrutus Thanks Marshall, I'm always looking for a story in a picture too. These Tuesday shots are actually quite enjoyable for me.

@cjphoto Thanks so much Chris. It really is a cute story, isn't it?

[Joy's Focus]

So cute!
