For me, springtime means baseball. When I was younger, my family would sit together around the television and watch the New York Yankees play night after night. There was a gap in time when I strayed away from watching all the games, but in the past few years my husband and I have picked up the habit again--watching the games on TV and heading out to Yankee Stadium when we get the chance.
Springtime also brings with it lazy afternoons playing ball in the backyard. I took the above photo last week at my brother's house in New Jersey. I call it "three generations of wiffle ball"--my nephew, my brother, and my 70-year-old father at the ready in the outfield (go Dad!).
LeGrandLife's photo below beautifully captures the excitement of that first pitch of the season. I can almost hear the roar of the crowd and taste the peanuts in my mouth as I cheer on the home team. A perfect way to spend a spring day.
Enjoy the warmer days, and see you soon!

For me, too, springtime means baseball only Red Sox baseball! ;) I have so many photos of my kids playing and of our trips to Fenway. I have no idea what else is on tv for the entire baseball season as I'm surely watching a game. Love your images and we, too, play generational wiffle ball.
This is a fabulous sign of spring. And great action shots.
Of course - Spring definitely is all about ball games. Love the pairing.
Oh, I don't have such great childhood memories of Spring Time (for me it was all the same since I grew up in a tropical island and did not pay too much attention to the details), but your image at the top here is just awesome. I love the detail, the wonderful photojournalistic approach, the peak moment. Just wonderful!
Great shot with three generations of family fun! Love the moments that photography can capture :)
That must have been such a lovely game to watch, with all the family playing. Love the pairing.
What a fun tradition... oh and I LOVE the red hair :)
