POBphotocontest : MOVEMENT ~ backyard hoops.

in #hive-150329last year

Good day to all of you folks out there who walk around with a camera hung around your neck or have a smartphone in your pocket.

Waiting for the next opportunity to snap a few pics of what it is that has caught our attention can occur at any moment. This is the 1st time I've gotten involved with the POBphotocontest. The topic MOVEMENT is something we should all do a little more of.

The following photos were taken at our farm here in Upstate NY. Any time we can get kids unplugged from the technology that surrounds them is a good thing. For our family, basketball has been such a big part of our life. In the following pictures, you will see three generations playing hoops and loving every minute of these special times spent together as a family. Here we have one of our sons playing with two of his kids, my grandchildren.

the competitive juices start to flow.

MOVEMENT, what better way to exercise than to have some fun while doing so. Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the United States, putting children and adolescents at risk for poor health.

Here we have Dad driving to the basket making us all laugh with his antics. What a healthy duo, movement and laughter.

I told you that when these two square off for a game things get competitive. As her brother lies on the ground the referee, that's me, calls a foul.
Without hesitation, my lovely granddaughter extended a hand to help her brother get up.
Getting involved with sports has so many benefits.
Besides keeping you in shape it teaches you many life skills
that can be put into practice in later years.

Back in the day, you would see some space between my sneakers and the ground, but these days I don't move like I once did. But, shooting the rock is like riding a bike, once you've got it you don't lose it.

All of these pictures were taken with our Cannon PowerShot SX530 HS, by my better half, @farm-mom.

@friendlymoose, being that this is my first entry for this contest, I hope that I've followed all of the guidelines.

Thank you very much for taking part of your day to curate my work.

I could see how happy they are playing together
It feels so good and also helps to promote togetherness
The pictures are cool!

Thank you. It was a wonderful day. The day was beautiful and we played hoops for hours before we went in for lunch.

Amazing lessons in life, playing together as a family tightens the bond, teaching competitiveness, behaving fair when achieving.

Great captures @farm-mom and good refereeing @thebigsweed fresh air, sunshine healthy lifestyle!

Spending quality time with kids, and doing almost anything, is the only real way to build a meaningful relationship with them.
Our two grandkids pictured in this post are gearing up for the upcoming season of basketball. Our granddaughter is vying for a starting spot on the varsity team and our grandson is traveling all over North Jersey playing AAU basketball with two different teams.
Idle time is the devil's playground.

Most often I forget to thank you for the reblog, my bad. Thanks for always promoting my work.

Quality time outdoors having fun, nothing much can beat it for relationship building.

Saying about idle hands is the devil's playground something my Dad always maintained, my Gran was another who firmly lived by her belief (Mom's mom).

Wish the grand-children all the success in the upcoming season in sport, exciting being able to watch them flourish.

Always a pleasure sharing what I feel really is where young adults must direct the next generation, too many sitting with cellphones as their master today!

Last year they started recording all of the games live. For $10.00 a month, you can secure the app and watch all of the games from wherever you are. We try to make it back to NJ several times during the season to watch them play, but the drive is a long one and it gets expensive. Watching it from the comfort of your home is wonderful.

Cell phones are both good and bad. One of the best things about them is that you can always get in touch with your children and it's a good learning tool if not abused. the pitfall is that many parents allow free access to their children and parents use it to occupy the kids in order to free up their own time.

You managed to take excellent shots on this topic. Everything is clear and correct, the movement is directly felt.👍

Thank you, it was a fun day and we now have it recorded for the future. A few years from now it will be fun to look back at and enjoy those few hours once again!

In this way, children who are interested in sports also have a fresher and healthier mind and your entry is very beautiful. We pray that you win these competitions.

thank you very much.

Most welcome dear
