Yes, me too. And the trips to ER – two broken fingers and a dislocated knee under that hoop. Still it was worth it. The kids thought having their own basketball hoop was the best!
Thanks CE. Ours sure got a work out at the time the kids were young. Unfortunately, nobody has used it lately. Maybe we’ll get it spiffed up with a new net by the time the grandkids are old enough to play.
This is a great shot. Having shot a lot of hoops in my youth (I was actually out shooting hoops on the morning of the day my youngest child was born!), this photo triggered a lot of fond memories. Phtotgraphically speaking, the composition, lighting, reflection of the rim, etc. is excellent.
Fond memories for me and my kids too, although I was never much of a basketball player – too short to start the training 😉 Thanks for your gracious comments – so nice to hear from someone as photographically accomplished as yourself.

That’s poignant. I can almost hear the laughter, the thud-thud of the basketball, the yells and the running.

Well played.
Good one KK. I should have put that as the caption instead!
🙂
🙂 right back attcha! Thanks for stopping by.
Good interpretation. Great angle! A viewer could almost throw a basketball from where you’re standing and make the shot.
Thanks Theresa. If I were the one making the shot, I would have to stand at least that close!
Me too!

Back at ya!
Again, I really like the angle. 🙂
Thanks Ariel. I like your firefighter boot photo too.
This made me smile as I remember the basketball hoop we had for our kids when they were growing up. Nice choice!

Love the photo. My worn basketball would match well.
Thanks. I think your basketball would look great with my hoop! Thanks for stopping by.
Great shot!
Why thank you.
