I Heart Faces – Sports in Action
Posted by Amy | Filed under I Heart Faces
Theme: Sports in Action
This week’s theme was hard for me! I have so many sports action shots between my son and husband that I couldn’t choose. I finally decided on this photo because I loved my son’s face as he was running… or maybe jumping towards third base. He looks like he’s half smiling, half really serious. All I know is he is ultra determined to NOT get an out:-)
It’s also pet week!
This is obviously not my pet, but he is a baby and really cute. I always love baby animals!
I’m a co-founder of I ♥ Faces and only joining in this photo challenge for fun!
Come on over and enter a photo or at least take a look at all the fun entries:-)

Great pics, as always! And you got it in even with your fab vacation.. I’m impressed! I really love the sports one.. that is a great action shot AND a great face shot! And what a sweet giraffe baby.. awwww! I want to hug him, and kiss him, and love him… except that his mommy would probably stomp me to death if I tried!

Great pic of your son. Nice mid air capture. I just love that age of players – they are so enthusiastic. Sports are still play.

WOW! Great captures. The giraffe photo is especially interesting to me. It looks like it is on the border of urban city and nicer downtown city the way the fencing looks next to the brick. Cool!

I like that he looks like he’s running on air – he’s going so fast his feet don’t touch the ground. Great action shot!

great action shot and you are so right – i see determination all over that little face
. your giraffe shot – what can i say, i love giraffes too 
. i like the perspective on both shots and the editing really brings them out. (of course, i am guessing you edited, perhaps not?)

The look of determination on your sons face is priceless – and I love all the little kiddos in the background too.
Your giraffe shot is INCREDIBLE. The color, clarity and sharpness are phenomenal!

Wow! That sports shot is amazing! I love that you captured him mid-stride.

Adorable picture! I can’t wait until my little man is old enough to join organized sports so I can capture gems like yours!
(PS: being from St. Louis, I absolutely love that you’re son plays for “the Cardinals” and they are playing against “the Cubs”…Cards win every time!)

That picture of your son is awesome! I love that his feet aren’t touching the ground!
P.S. What camera/lens did you use to take that? Action shots are so hard to get “just right” (but you captured the moment perfectly…).

Well, phew! I am so glad you clarified that the giraffe was not your pet since I was totally going to believe you had a GIRAFFE as a pet : ) So cute. Adorable, really. I think you should get one. The kids would dig it!
LOVE the baseball picture. So cute how he is flying in air. I hope he did not get out!
