Our Picture This! assignment this month was Outdoor Sports, and readers responded
with a host of great shots from a near-Olympic-size field that included baseball,
running, biking, and rodeo. Judging from these photos it's clear that
readers have their eye on the ball and know how to grab those "peak of
the action" shots.

Please Note
We receive hundreds of submissions for Picture This! each month and
want to be sure we properly identify each image we publish. Please be sure to
attach your name and image information to the back of each submission.
Happily, our "lost" Found Montage assignment photos were found,
as they showed up mysteriously at our doorstep after having traveled (we surmised)
through the ravages of Katrina. The outer package was the worse for wear, but
all the photos made it through. We'll run that selection next month, so
stay tuned for following Picture This! assignments.
