 Natural light.

Yeah... I know... the shirt. The Shirt.

But, I had something else entered, totally different entered until two days left in the challenge, and then this beautiful friend of mine showed up to ride our horses.

She didn't know she was stepping into a photo shoot and was wearing what she was in. *grin* But, when she agreed, I quickly ran up to the house for runny white paint, cowboy hat, and milk... and off we went. :)

She's a natural at modeling... the horse did all kinds of crazy things and she just kept looking into the camera and smiling.

A photographer's dream model. :)


Milk. It does the body good.

Hmmm... dropping quite rapidly the evening of rollover, after holding the same score for many days. A significant drop with no new votes, only four new views. It appears that someone thinks I'm competition.

Ok... I still enjoy my image even with the... ummmm... interesting re-voting.

Post: THANKS for the great comments, folks!
