Default Still pitching after all these years . . .

I recently "graduated" myself from a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 P&S to a Nikon D60, so I've been playing a bit, trying to learn.
Took some shots of my husband pitching at his recent baseball game. He doesn't pitch much anymore (it is best left to the younger set), but he's been playing for this team for 25 years and I think I have pics of him pitching every year. These are from one pitch.

I took this the same night. Thought it was an interesting sky:

Don't let your husband know that he is not part of the younger set. I really like the sky shot.

Excellent action sequence catching all phases of the delivery. Well done. Your shot of the sky is very interesting. I like the clouds floating through the foreground. Enjoy your new D60!

Thanks, all!
I'm starting a two week vacation middle of next week, so I hope to shoot lots, at home and on our trip to the Maine coast.
