Portrait of a Day at Wimbledon – Watching and Waiting
.
You can see my other “Portrait of a Day at Wimbledon” photos here.

Yesterday I gave you whispering, today I give you waiting.
Tennis isn’t just about physical fitness, though of course this is extremely important, it is just as much to do with mental attitude and agility.
Concentration and patience are part of that mental attitude with the body tensed ready to pounce.

is he wearing pink underwear? 😉 he’s waiting and waiting…..
.
and then he’s off
.
and it’s not just the tennis players who have to concentrate.
Hat’s off to the ball girls and boys who work extremely hard.

I have a few more Portrait of a Day at Wimbledon photos I want to post but I may well give you a few days rest from them..
Oh and well I’m here I just wanted to tell you about a few of the search terms that were used to find this blog today. I don’t know if you keep an eye on yours but I look from time to time.
Today I had the following:-
The ever-present “wellies”, “rubber gloves on”, “self pic bath” and “kiss feet” !!
So there’s a task for you, have a search to see what posts they might have been in relation to 😀

You can see my other posts with a “Portrait of ” tag here, here and here

How wonderful to be there in person and to get those shots!
It is a great expereince..even on Court 2!
Great images again! 🙂
Thanks Richard 🙂
Another really good post Helen, and with some super images yet again. Excellent!
Thanks David… nice of you to say so ..
Fantastic action shots – and it’s not raining!…
We only had a little rain John 😉
Hmmmmm…seems to me more about bottoms than tennis…..
A good thing but strange nonetheless.
I’m trying to present every view Stuart 😉
I think you’ve gone quite far enough…
Stop now, before you break any laws….
Red undershorts or an extremely sunburned bum…how does someone let that happen? I remember your “self pic bath” and the wellies, not sure about the rubber gloves and kiss feet.
😉
Brilliant-waiting. REally nice shots.
Thanks Elena
Nice collection of waitings. Strange the search terms people use!
Hilarious I think !!Rachael
Helen congratulations on this fine series, thoughtfully conceived and beautifully presented. I’d never been to Wimbledon, but I have now!! Excellent work.
Thank you very much Louis there will be more but I am taking a break from them for a few days.
LOL… I was wondering the same thing about the white shorts. I usually look at the images first, then read what you’ve written to go along with them.
Glad you enjoyed them Michelle 😉
