Sunday Stills-Sports



I really wanted to get a photo of the Olympic torch being run through Creston, but it was going on at the same time as our cattle work, and of course, riding Beamer took precedence!
So my offering is from Friday night's team roping practice. I did get some clear shots, but I don't like to put people's photos on the internet without their permission, and I thought that this photo was rather interesting in it's blurred obscurity.

And even early morning sunrises are a good time for the dog sport of fetch! (pleeeeease kick the ball for us, mum!)

I love that first shot, I think I would still like that one over an unblurred one.Excellent.

LOVE the blurred roper... you really get a feeling of action.

And that sunrise - are you kidding me? Please tell me you tweaked the colour, even just a little bit! lol

Love the colors in the dog shot! They look like they are ready to play or saying "are you crazy?" LOL!
