Nice Smile. Nice Form. Nice Boots?
Not quite a regulation baseball uniform, but appropriate to the situation. Last month some neighborhood kids were playing catch, with the twist that they were separated by a little river, adding a bit of drama to each throw...

Cute post. But what was the weather like…one girl had on shorts and a down vest?
Kids wear shorts/skirts all year round. I have never quite understood it. —Jeffy
I like the way you pick your subject.
Well done again.
Anna 🙂
Children should be taught not to play ball games along a storm drain. It is well known children had been drowned and/or washed away in situations similar to this, trying to retrieve a ball that falls into the water.
It’s not a storm drain, it’s a river 10cm deep. —Jeffrey
I noticed one thing which is the river in Japan is almost crystal clear! Woot. I hardly sees only in the place I am living in while it used to be.
I think these kids really improvise what ever they had. Never came across my mind to did it that way.
Very nice this photo sequence.
I like very much it.

Looking at those pics was so funny. They are really special.
