Soccer in the Summer

When I was growing up in this part of the world sports were seasonal. Spring didn't just mean flowers, it also meant baseball season. And though soccer is played in other parts of the world year round, it used to be more of a autumn/wintertime sport here. Now it is played in the summer as well and my granddaughters both are playing this year. The photo above is not one of my granddaughters but during a recent game I was pleased to capture the grace and poise in motion that this girl displayed. It seems as perfect as an infinitely practiced move in ballet.
