    This is one reason my hobby is photography. I have never been injured by a camera.

    Nice shots.

    Terrific work, Rags. That's a wonderful example of making the most out of an opportunity when it's presented to you. Well done!!!clap.gif

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks guys for the comments, they're appreciated.

    Bullriding... pretty exciting stuff. The bull always wins if he's a good "bucker?"

    This event is like an elimination for bulls or riders, to go national for the Professional Bull Riders Assn.

    If riders don't make it, they get another job; if bulls don't buck good enough - they're hamburger (literally)

    Thanks for looking in and the generous comments

    BTW, I don't know how he made out after he left the ring with the medic.

    The event is a couple of hours away from me & I don't see their local news
