Stockyards Cowboy

The Ft. Worth Stockyards hires cowboys/cowgirls to ride around the stockyards area to keep a little of our old western history alive for visitors. They are always very kind and are a big hit with visitors, which by the way, come from all over the globe.

It always makes me smile when I hear a visitor from another country say to their traveling mate "See, I told you they all ride horses over here in Texas"

    Superbly done, Randy. Lighting is nice and his expression is priceless. Glad to hear a plug for my adopted hometown!

    Nice one, Randy. I was just thinking....if they would give us a package deal, we could round up the posse and go there to be " tourist " riders. Hell, if the money's right we could even stage some gunfights.

    The stockyards are probably my favorite local place to shoot. You need to put it on your schedule next time.

    A keen candid Randy thumb.gif Really am enjoying this clever composition of yours and the tale from being there. What would we do without a nice story to go with?

    Thanks for taking the time to look and leaving a comment Michael thumb.gif
