I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK (2 of 3, axes)

[Steve Foss]

The pro lumberjacks got into ax throwing, but so did a teacher or two from the Ely school. And of course the kids who got an afternoon out of school were VERY happy!

[Canon Guy]

Nice series Steve. Great expressions on the kids faces.

[finnbay]

hey! Some great shots! Looks like you were having fun!

[Steve Foss]

Fun? Of course I was having fun. Why else would a fella take up photography?

[Dave S]

Lucky for you they were a good aim.

[finnbay]

Of course you're right, but sometimes it looks like you're having more fun than anyone is entitled! I thought you were going to jump into the fray when they started to throw the axes!

[MN Shutterbug]

Great action shots. That would have been a fun event to watch.

[Steve Foss]

Thanks, all. I have thrown double-bit axes in competition before. It was great fun.

I'd have liked to get a few different angles, but of course those liability-insurance-minded folks organizing the event wouldn't let me stand directly behind the target. What's wrong with those people?

[yakfisher]

Great pictures except for the obscene words on the kid's sweatshirt in the upper left corner of the second picture

Good thing you weren't a little more to the right.

[polarsusd81]

Awesome shots Steve. Looks like a really fun day.

[Steve Foss]

yak, I've NEVER been a little more to the right.

[Paul]

Yak. They are rated #1. Again. What's so obscene about that?

[mmeyer]

Great shots Steve! In your avatar you look a little like a lumberjack.

[Dbl]

I hope your insurance is up to date Steve! Flying axes make me nervous!

[DeeDee]

Great shots Steve! But i gotta tell ya, I would have ducked and missid every shot when they started throwing the axes.
