3/365

Spent the day at the arena. My friend Jane is the mom of the kid in 4th position there. She takes *amazing* sports photos and has a Nikon with a huge lens. My Rebel gets outperformed., full blown. Since Jane had to stay home for this meet (as she is now a grandma and was helping with the new addition to her family) I did my best to get a few shots off for her. What amazes me about the big kids skating is the fact that they skate so *close* considering they are also going so *fast* they have to touch the ice to keep themselves from tipping over. And when the zamboni has just done the rink, you get the awesome reflection of them in the ice.
