My Field Event<\/h2>\n

Some of you know that my husband is USA Masters Track and Field World Champion sprinter. \u00a0We are opposites in many ways–he’s fast, and I’m slow, for example, \u00a0I’m usually paces behind him. \u00a0We approach things differently; he’s very systematic\u00a0in his approach to life, and I’m more likely to have a loose, rolling list of things that get done when the time is right. \u00a0We drive each other crazy sometimes, but tend to balance each other out as\u00a0couples often do.<\/p>\n

He has encouraged me to train for a track or field event so that I would enjoy spending the long days at track meets more. \u00a0That’s probably not going to happen at the tracks, but I have developed a “field event” of my own. \u00a0The fields at Little Piney are teeming with life! \u00a0Walking through the field prompts a flurry of hopping, flying, buzzing, and rustling through the grass. \u00a0So, dressed in long pants and leather boots to protect me from poison ivy, bugs, and snakes, my current favorite activity is exploring life in the field. \u00a0I have my macro lens\u00a0ready to photograph any little insect or critter\u00a0that remains still long enough. \u00a0Come to think of it, grasshopper photography is kind of like trying to film Ken running the 60 meters, only the subject is smaller and the cover more dense.<\/p>\n

Grasshopper Photography<\/h2>\n

All of these little subjects cooperated with the camera–<\/p>\n

Baby Toads and Frogs<\/h2>\n

I was also delighted to discover baby toads and frogs hopping along with the grasshoppers. \u00a0Thank \u00a0you to the Houston Toad Facebook<\/a> folks for the identifications.<\/p>\n

Video of Ken running in the World Master’s in Turin 2013<\/h2>\n

For comparison’s sake–https:\/\/youtu.be\/E_HNkfidlPs<\/a><\/p>\n

You can skip through the first 2\/3 to see Ken run and hear me cheering him on! \u00a0He’s one of the two out front. \u00a0That’s him in dark blue on the right. \u00a0He’s as fast as a grasshopper!<\/p>\n
