ranch kids
If you ever wondered if ranch kids were scrappier than town kids, I can assure they are. These little kids were all over the place, throwing dirt at each other, engaging in ad hoc tug of war games, clonking their heads on pipe-rail fences, and climbing up to get a close look at a horse. And enjoying every minute.
(Not shown: the little girl in a white outfit that she topped off with pink plastic high heel shoes. Don’t let yourself think she was all demure and whatnot: she threw her fair share of dirt.)
(Also: it was about 100° outside too, even though the sun was going down.)

At rodeo practice, things moved along pretty fast – faster than the camera and I could keep up with.
So even though technically this is…not good…I still like it. There. I said it.

rodeo practice
My New England visitors and I missed the rodeo, which started just two nights after we were in town.
However, we were like moths drawn to the flame of arena lights across the road and went over to see what was going on. A very nice woman, who was holding a clipboard (the universal sign that a person is Definitely In Charge), let us hang around and watch the riders practicing the grand entry.
And like a lot of things that just fall into place, it was a highlight of our trip.

Oh, yes – here I go again, shooting photos through dusty windows into buildings full of random discards. Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of lamps and most of them are just as nice as the ones you can see here. If you get my drift.

the reason
One of the little photography jokes I use to keep entertained is finding juxtapositions of things that are unrelated and smashing them together in an image.
Unless Jesus has/had a dog allergy and that’s why they’re banned.
