Players stand at attention during the opening flag salute.

“You dare to run … ON ME????????”

   Coaches (l to r) Aaron Lucero, Lark Gustafson and Mike Peters join the pregame festivities.

   Adrian Burrows, daughter of legendary former CHS hoops star Jaime Rasmussen, shows off the same killer glare her mom once used to ruffle foes.

Little League playoff action is booming.

As June rolls to a close, Central Whidbey’s softball and baseball squads are returning to the diamond for All-Star action, and photographer John Fisken is likely to be on the scene.

The photos above come from a game Friday between CWLL and North Whidbey at Volunteer Park in Oak Harbor.

   You don’t get past Audrianna Shaw if you don’t know the password. Spoiler: the runner did NOT know the password.

Mollie Bailey anchors the Central Whidbey defense.

Coral Caveness, about to beat the snot out of the softball.

   Calm and cool in the heat of the moment, it’s unflappable coach Mimi Johnson at work.

They can’t be beat.

Sails, ahoy!!

   There be boats, big boats, in the waters off Whidbey Island. (John Fisken photos)

It’s not the size of the boat, but the motion in the ocean (that it makes).

The boats, and the onlookers, crowd for position.

Let the guns rip.

The waters off Whidbey were hoppin’ Tuesday afternoon.

A rare parade of tall boats sailed through Admiralty Inlet on their way to the Festival of Sail in Tacoma.

The boats, which regularly plied the waters in these parts in the 19th century, brought out gawkers galore.

One of those onlookers was local paparazzi John Fisken, who brought his camera to the show and was kind enough to pass on the pics seen above.

Ever-industrious paparazzi John Fisken was there for it all, and the photos above are courtesy him.

Little kids, big swings!!

   “You heard me the first time. I said I’ll throw the ball when I feel like it, and not before!!” (John Fisken photos)

“Put it there, sister!!”

“Pizza Factory is giving me free pizza for all this free advertising?!?!?!?”

“Let me at ’em, dad!! I got this!”

“One catch to save the world … and I did it!! The crowd goes wild!!!!!!!”

“I am the destroyer of worlds!!”

   “Listen here, Mr. Speedy, I’m Amy Fasolo! I won a state title in the 800!! You come for the queen, you better have your shoelaces double-tied!!”

It’s the perfect combo — little kids, baseball and a photographer with time on his hands.

Thanks to John Fisken, we have the snappy photos you see above, which capture a T-Ball game Wednesday between the Central Whidbey Sluggers and the Ironbirds.
