Bull Riding and Fireworks

Description

I am in the process of choosing some photos from last years Rotary Independence Day Rodeo for our advertising brochure and for publicity. This was captured toward the end of the event which ends with bull riding and on July 4th fireworks. I have been very busy with sick kitties, sick patients, hospital committees, Rotary committees but hope to get back to BP soon. Tom Cat is back at the office and brought Baby home this morning both doing well.

My advise is to always allow some time each day for yourself. You do so much for others and that is a blessing, not to also all the kindness you show to the animals. But each day should have a little time just for you. Of all the series you do Emile, this is my very favorite. Love the rodeo and your action shots are always so thrilling and so beautifully done,like this one here. That cowboy is going down. choke one up for the bulls. Keep them coming when you can my friend. Take care. #11424643

Wow Emile, thats one way of getting the bull to buck, just throw some fireworks into the equation!! A great image, I love the action happening in the foreground and the background! Glad to hear Tom is back in the office, Emile. And that Baby is doing much better too! Life is like that sometimes, everything is all going on at once!! :) #11424656
