Transcendent
A short evening with friends...







They do what they enjoy...

I do my part. (Can you see me?)

Just for practice.

Just for fun.

And it *was* fun.


My favorite photo?
This one.

Where *his* shadow is falling on *her* horse.
Team roping.
It's a dance.
It's art.
It's music.
And when you are a team...
It's graceful.
It's beautiful.
It flows.
It is ... transcendent.

I know it's not 'question day" but - what is that large collar-type thing on the cow?
Thanks for the neat pictures that really capture an enjoyable evening of fun.

Those are horn wraps. Since these cattle are roped at least twice a week, for roping practice, cowboys put these "cushions" around the horns. It's kind of a figure 8 pattern with one loop under their neck to hold it in place. This keeps them from getting rope burned. You're seeing the "collar" part around the neck.
