Learning Lessons

Getting Dirty
Good evening,

I'm up later than normal, no really good reason to hit the hay since it is Saturday night, and on Sunday church is at 10 AM so I can frolic all morning with time to spare, might even paint.

This is my third daily blog on bulldogging, my acrylic painting of "on the money" and I can't say I have any first hand experience, or maybe the last viewing was a long time ago I saw at the rodeo.  Marge, my wife is kind to share, with me,  some of her great images of this exciting event. I love the action of the horses how they work as a team to keep the steer straight, so the steer is not able to turn when the cowboy is in a critical position. As you can see his feet haven't even hit the ground, but he has a tight grip on the horns. The judge is in the background, ready to wave for his time upon finishing his event. 

Have a great day.

Jimmy
