Can you believe we're actually over halfway through September already?

Yes, that's right. For all you fans of the fall season, it's almost time for those piles of leaves to completely take over your yard once again.

With summer coming to an end, I thought ya'll might enjoy a summer-focused sports photo gallery.

If you're anything like me, you're not quite ready to let go of summer. (OK, completely not ready to let go of summer!)

To me, warm summer weather is not 'legally' allowed to end until after my birthday, so ya'll have until after the 23rd. (Enjoy it while it lasts!)

I guess I know summer has to come to an end, and I've learned there's something to enjoy in each new season, but for the moment I'm still clinging to summer. Hence, a summer-centric photo gallery to celebrate the past few months of summer sunshine.

I went out to Okotoks On Deck one Saturday to shoot some baseball action in the Tier 1 AA U11 Provincials and ended up catching the Slo-Pitch Tournament as well.

That's kind of normal for me as a photojournalist. I head out looking to shoot one thing and usually end up with way more than I bargained for and it's usually a good thing!

I met so many neat people. And of course, the sun was out and the weather was gorgeous!

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy these photos and savour the last few days of summer. I know I will.
