I  love Spring! So much happens in spring. I love the beautiful new spring flowers and blooming trees! Great backdrops for outdoor photos. And, spring is a great season for many athletes and sports fans! I have loved being outside to photograph Prom (and 2 more coming up), as well as a variety of sports - baseball, softball, track n field, soccer, tennis and my newest sport ULTIMATE!

For those who are wondering what ULTIMATE is, well, it is an awesome sport that the teams have disks (Frisbees) and they move it up and down the field to try to score (a bit like football). This is new to me this year as my son after years of playing baseball and tennis, has taken up ultimate and is on the Metea Valley Varsity team! I've been to a handful of games, and am in awe by the ahtletisism the boys have, as well as their comradarie!  This is a somewhat new sport, and is only recognized as a club in the schools, though I am sure with the way this sport is catching on, it will be a much talked about and much followed sport in the coming years!

Below are some photos that of the Metea Valley players playing - these were taken at Naperville Central during a pre-season "just for fun" game. The boys typically play at the Naperville Polo Club.
