Rode Preview

I went to the rodeo this past weekend with my daughter and gal pals (yeehaw!) and had a great time!  I only went one day instead of two like last year, so I didn't take as many pics...but it was still fun:)  Got to see Ty Elliot in TWO events (team penning and bull riding), so I was pretty excited about that!  He did really well in the bull riding...but what's up with him moving to AB!?!?!  Why would he do that to me?!?  LOL!  Ok I digress...

I'm not too happy with my shots this year.  It was cloudy and dreary and I had a hard time keeping my shutter speeds fast enough.  I might not even post many pics...I'm in a "Blah" photography mood at the moment in case you can't tell.
Here's one so-so shot for now, I've got lots of editing to do!

James!!

Boy was I stoked when I turned James out into the ring last week and he started blasting around AND I had my camera with me!  Would have preferred to have shot him running around in the field, but that's ok I'll work with what I've got:)  He was so full of himself, running around, snorting, bucking and rearing!  (I'm sure the fact that I was running back and forth behind the fence egging him on had nothing to do with it *cough cough* LOL!)  I hadn't seen him that amped up in a while, it was hilarious!  I think he really wanted back out in the field, but sadly for him I wanted to ride...and, he did end up warming himself up which was a bonus. 

Enough chat, here are the pics of Mr. Personality:

(BTW, this is why he wasn't clean for our impromptu shoot haha!)

Think this is my new fav pic:)

And, yes I did let him back out!

Had to throw in this pic of his pasture buddy, Minette.
