Sorry about that yesterday! Our decision to go to the dance last night was swift and I had enough time for a quick shower and change of clothes… That was all I could manage to do to let you know I’d be gone… I don’t believe we’ll be dancing tonight… it’s 9:20 and Vernon is…

Good Ol’ Time!
Although we moved cattle today… I have to share the rodeo photos first! Kickin’ up some dust… Airborn… Elevation… Angle of attack… <go, L.!> Bull slobbers… Furthermore, it’s the first week of July… time for another round of Questions and Answers! Please post any questions you have for me in the comment section for the…
Happy Birthday, America!
I can’t help it… The 4th of July in Ten Sleep is our BIG holiday… Not that we have tons of friends and family visiting… we don’t. Not that I’m cooking for 50 people… I’m not. Not that there isn’t a list of work to be done on the ranch… there is. It’s more… A…
P.’s Parable
P. participated in the Kids’ Rodeo last weekend. Though she doesn’t have a horse of her own, she has access to horses through relatives. It takes a little effort to prepare and ride in the rodeo… and P. did well. P. is being raised by her aunt and uncle… they have really stepped up and…
Kids’ Rodeo Complete
I need to finish up my kids’ rodeo pictures… So tonight, here are both of the highlights… You lucky readers, you! First, the shirt-tail button race. (First, please notice the frozen ears on this horse… or the lack of ears on this horse because he was born on a cold and windy morning… whatever…) The…
Many Faces of Kids’ Rodeo
While I should be cleaning my house… I have company coming… I figured I better get this posted or it wouldn’t happen later! Kids’ Rodeo… synonymous with hottestdayinJuly/slowerthanmolasses/cuterthancute/whyinthe’elldowedothis? But boy! you end up with some cutie photos! Typical Grand Entry Posting of the Colors… until you notice the Wyoming flag bearer is kinda dressed “funny”……
Kids’ Rodeo
I did ambulance standby for the Ten Sleep Kids’ Rodeo today. I’ve helped off and on with this activity since my kids were little… read 15 years or so… I managed to acquire a few good photos… and a few funny stories… but I beg that you let me tell them tomorrow… The hour is…
Rodeo Revamped
Playing with Photoshop can be addictive… That’s A.W. whose been a rodeo judge here quite a while… a little “antique” effect adds to the height of this photo, dontcha think? A tad bit of cropping and black vignette lets the cowboys and judge be together in this one. Sepia (my favorite!) brings a timelessness to…
I Admit
I love taking photos of Wonderful Wyoming… my English Shepherds… and rodeo… But with rodeo, I admit… I’m not sure if I like the split second before a wreck photo… Or the perfect ride photo… OK, not a good ride, but a good move by the clown/bullfighter! This one’s my favorite… plus I know this…
Let’s Rodeo!
The 4th in Ten Sleep means parade. The 4th in Ten Sleep means street dance. The 4th in Ten Sleep means RODEO! Now I’ve taken photos of the parade every year but this one because… We were Grand Marshals. A friend took this one… There’s me and my boys, and Victoria and Vernon… unseen is…
It Was There…
Apologies for not posting yesterday. I wanted to share our 4th of July Celebration Small Town Style. I want the world to know… that here… It is everywhere. We followed it at the front of the parade. It lined the streets. It’s on the back of a horse drawn wagon. It’s on the competitors in…
Rain
Don’t know how the ships at sea feel… but the .4″ of rain here has created mud and soggy hay. Don’t laugh… .4″ is a fair rain here… we only get 14″ in an entire year here! I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned it… but my father-in-law, Johnny, is a NOAA weather observer… he’s…
