This was a state qualifying meet at the high school near my house.

My favorite image from today. Every athlete was awarded stuff animals, she just loved hers (and stole my heart)

A very nice set of event photos. Number 1 is cute but the smiling face and the nice action of specialolympics5 is probably my favourite from this set.

[Jason]

A very touching set of photos, AT. Nicely done.

Really nice set. Those smiles melt the heart. Nice job

[JAS_Photo]

Very nice set indeed!

[Marko]

A very sweet and touching set with many wonderful images. Well done AT!
Shot 1 is my fave as well.

[Mike Bons]

Great set! #7 is my fav. It just makes me smile.

[asnow]

Lovely set AT. How can you not smile when you see how much fun these kids are having.

Now these have to be some of the most emotional, and rewarding shots, to ever get. Just shows how much enjoyment people get from "being involved", no matter who you are. Hope you presented some of these to the organizers of the event. They are all great.
