A local rink

' hey amanda. grab your camera and come meet us... it's a beautiful winter day and the guys are all playing hockey... let's get some pictures. '

my sister is always up for photo shoots and i love that about her.
today even thought the chore list was a little longer than normal - i felt the tug and the spark in her voice.
i left the house with the camera and headed to the rink.

it was a blast. taking pictures with really cold fingers and an even chillier nose.... but that is where we live and this is what we do. hockey has been a past time for many ages in Saskatoon. some live and breath it.

i love the fun it brings out in people... and a connection that otherwise wouldn't be there...
at the local rinks it's all about bring a shovel, your stick, gloves and skates.... you bring your game face and sense of humor too. it's where no one is serious yet they are and where the fights break out between two guys with a smile on their face...

here's to a fun winter day.
