Girls Softball - dust attack - 03-24-2009, 01:08 PM


Caught this last night. The sun is behind the player so it really highlighted the dust as it kicked up into her face.



In the full size version you can actually see the dirt particles hitting the player in the mask.

Yeah, she did. Gulped down an entire water bottle after the inning (should have gotten that shot - grin).

Thanks for the kind words all.

Too cool Joe! Think you can duplicate that shot at any other game the rest of this year? Rare indeed!

Great shot.

But I thought this thread was going to be about softball in Lubbock.

There is something wonderful about the mix of dust flying and ribbons in their hair, the mix of eyeshadow and dirty white pants. What a wonderful sport.
