Description

Well it is getting ready to be time for the George Paul Memorial Bull Riding in Del Rio, Texas at the end of April. I have photographed this event each year since 2006. This is Trey Benton on Shine Time his first ride on which he scored 90. He went on to have three 90 point rides to become the Champion. Each year I make a photographic book for the winner and present it to them the next year during the event. This is one of the photos that will be in his book covering his three 90 point rides.

I think I am finally ready to put Trey Benton's photographic book to press. Will be off for editing by one of my bull riding friends for last minute correction before printing.
Oh some really good news my little young kitty SWEET-UMS came home last night. What a surprise to find her at the front door. She spent the night on my bed again last night. Thanks for coming home my sweetie. Will try to catch up as I can.

Spectacular light, colors and clarity!!

So very happy that SWEET-UMS came back. It's just terrible when they go away. Besides missing them desperately you're always worried that something bad may have happened. #10991375
