This is one of the best “in action” pictures I’ve ever taken.  A couple of summers ago, I sat on the back of a friend’s boat while we sped around Ute Lake in Eastern New Mexico.  I snapped nearly 200 pictures of my kids tubing and skiing that day, and many of them turned out blurry or empty of kids.  Many times they flew out of the picture before I took it and all that was left was an image of choppy water!  But this one was the perfect shot and well worth the hours I sat looking backwards at the kids through a two inch screen.

We’re heading to the lake again today and will spend the entire day on it tomorrow.  This time, however, I have a new camera (well, it’s actually the one I bought for my graduating daughters).  Anyway, this time, I’ll be looking through a three inch screen from the back of the boat!  And, for the same reason I would ever watch NASCAR, I’ll be watching my kids tomorrow: to catch the perfect wreck, wipe-out, or big-air on camera.  Hopefully, I’ll have some good ones to share with you next week!
