Gig Harbor soccer players' wall couldn't stop South Kitsap's Nico De La Cruz from scoring on a free kick. For more photos check the prep photo gallery.

I discovered Joe and Amy Cooper soaking in the sun while walking to my car after shooting an assignment in their neighborhood. We didn't need the photo for the paper but I couldn't resist capturing them, the blossoms and their colorful adirondacks. To frame them with the blossoms meant climbing the tree.

Personally what I appreciate about the photo is it's implausibility. When I started working at the TNT thirteen years ago this neighborhood around South I and 8th Streets was notorious as one of the city's problem high crime zones. A combination of police and neighborhood involvement has transformed an area formerly plagued by drive by shootings to one with a thriving community garden, park and is attracting young couples like the Coopers who recently moved from Kent.
