Dublin doors - 3/13/2010 - Photo by Annette Lein

 Photographing the St Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, I was pleasantly surprised to see this float from Fabulous Flowers called the “Fabulous Doors of Dublin” with young kids  peering out from various “windows”.  I followed the float to get as many little faces in the windows as I could.  It was my favorite picture from the day.

Someone shot a school bus with a BB gun that had very young children on it.  What were they thinking?

I love taking photos of animals coming up to my camera.

Ouch!!!! - 3/4/2010 - Photo by Annette Lein

I usually enjoy shooting sports as I don’t do it very often and it allows me to just react to what is happening in front of me.  I decided to try shooting the girls basket ball Class AA final at Gates Chili HS with a 300 mm lens, which is longer than I would normally use.  That choice paid off when Greece Arcadia’s #33 Jessica Sexton, bottom, went down hard as Aquinas’ #1 Teja Reaves, left, and #24 Clair Riley, right, fought her for possession of the ball.  Sexton was OK and  Arcadia won 60 -55.

While waiting for an 8pm basketball game to start at Letchworth High School Wednesday night, I was watching the exciting end to the previous game.  The Fillmore Eagles beat the Prattsburgh Vikings in OT. At the end one of the stars of the game for Fillmore, #33 Dylan Smith was greeted by his girlfriend with a kiss as one of the losing players from Prattsburgh walked by looking rather unhappy.  I thought it was a nice juxtaposition of emotion from the game.

Sign of the Times - 3/3/10 - photo by Tina Yee

I am sent to the scene of a rollover and I get there just as they start to move a person on a stretcher to the ambulance.  What do I see but the person using their mobile device.  It looked so strange especially in light of the flipped car .  I guess it’s the sign of the times because this is about the third or fourth time I’ve seen someone carted away on a stretcher with a cell phone attached to their ear.
