Henry and Hockey

 
 Last night Henry had hockey practice; well actually it was a game. This is a nice outdoor parks and rec league so it isn't competitive and I think it is perfect for Henry. He was in this league last year, but I never could go because it was so freezing and I had to take care of Frances.  Yesterday it was pretty warm for winter so it was a perfect time to come. 

 I feel like Henry is growing right before my eyes. I look at a picture of him, and I no longer see that baby face, but I see a kid and beyond. When I saw him on the ice, I was overwhelmed. I expected to see the skating baby steps and slow skating that I thought he did, but I was wrong. This guy is really skating! I will say that he is not very aggressive, which in this case is fine with me. As I watched, I marveled with Henrys progress, both on the ice and off.
 With regards to the camera, I shot some with action sequence, I shot some in snow scene, but I ended up in manuel, so I could over expose the pictures slightly so I could get good detail on the skin. I suppose it is hard to shoot an ice rink with a setting sun and fast boys playing on the ice.  It was a good challenge for me and I think I got some good ones.
 Because I couldn't trim the pictures anymore, here are all of them:
