Sword Play in Forest Park

On my way home from the Variety Club Easter Egg Hunt. I rolled across this group of folks Battling it out with swords & shields, I at first thought they were S.C.A. but they were not. Although they were not and I can not remember what they called themselves. They were an interesting bunch and allowed me to snap quiet a few shots of them. If you guys log on too see this post your groups name and web site. For those interested in checking you out.

Variety Club Parade & Easter Egg Hunt

Yesterday I had the honor to photograph The St. Louis
Variety Club
Parade & Easter Egg Hunt. The children who the Variety Club assist may get their first bike or help with getting lifts in their parents vehicles so they can easily get about. These children have a spirit for life that warm the coldest of hearts. One young boy I photographed original had a sad look on his face until the Easter Bunny came over to him. This young boy lit up like a thousand suns.
He even got to play ball with the Easter Bunny which was magical to watch. Thank you St. Louis Variety Club for you support of these very special children as well as those who donate their Time, Love and Money to help the children.

Pujols Home Run Fireworks

Yesterday I had been asked to go to the Arch to photograph the St. Louis Cardinals Opening Day in the new Busch Stadium. While I was up topside I got this photograph of the home run fireworks being set off. It took till I got home to be able to tell who was on the field at the time. Upon close inspection I could see a Cardinal player coming up to bat. This was Albert Pujols home run. As soon as I got this shot the shoot was over, As this was definitely the Shot Of the Day if not the year. This image is a definite historic moment in Saint Louis. Enjoy If anyone wants to buy the copyright to this image it is available for the right price!
