This is a shot of my grand-daughter Sophie playing baseball a couple years ago. Notice how many players are coming in to make the play. (the boy on the right eventually gets the baseball glove off his head.)
Now look closely where the ball ends up... She stopped the ball, that's what counts. If she hadn't stopped it, I am sure they would have been pile of players behind her smashing down on it.

Elusive butterfly
We were in Seattle recently and this butterfly was wandering through the flowers next to the sidewalk as I walked along. I let the others walk along without me while I stopped to spend some time with my new BFF. He proved pretty elusive. (Wait, wasn't that a song?).

Great Egret does a high five
You always see egrets standing on their legs and rarely see them using them for anything else. In this case, the Great Egret is getting ready to do some scratching. It does, however, look like he's doing a high five.
The shot is from a small bayou at the edge of the Atchafalaya Basin in Louisiana.

Glacier calving is caught in photo
This is a somewhat close-up view of a glacier as it meets the water from our recent Alaskan trip. The big blue columns of ice form a wall at the water's edge. The best I could estimate the size is that the columns are about 200 to 300 feet high. Periodically, a sliver will fall into the water and create a big splash. You can see that splash at the bottom center of the photo -- I think that splash is about 30-50 feet high. The process is called calving.
