That time of year again
It’s been a long off-season but Wednesday marked the first practice of the year for the Toledo Rockets. The team was out running drills with temperatures in the mid-90s so even the coaches were working up a good sweat.

Dan, Great pictures. I really liked the pictures of the shawdows. How about a picture of Coach Rose in action!( no pressure)

Nice work Dan! Congratualtions on expanding your domain to include the written word. Excellent shot of Mi Hyun Kim on her winning stroke. You must have been fast to the spot or used your muscle to get that great line of sight!
Looking forward to seeing you in Ames . . . along the sideline shooting for Joe Powers if all works out. Got my airline ticket, hotel reservation and rental car, just looking for a media pass.
See you at the game,
Tom

As always, your pictures are really great. I only wish you made more of them for sale as you did the UT/BG game pic. They make great additions to office walls.

Thanks PPR. I would if I could but most UT photos I make are the property of the university. They just aren’t mine to sell.
