A great presentation Don. I'm starting to feel like i'm on a cattle drive through downtown myself.
Very well done.

Don this is just great!!! I love the idea of the cowboy in the knee high grasses like that. It makes the statue look so incredibly real!!!! The purple and white colours next to the grey metal make such a great shot!!!

The setting of this shot is just wonderful. You can imagine the statue coming alive.

I've enjoyed all of your sculpture posts, especially this one. The colors of your foreground highlight the sculpture well. Thanks for sharing them.

This One is My Favorite of the Bunch.
He would looked even better without that building in the background.
Oh well, Old West meets Modern Day West.
Thanks Again.

I think this is the very best of your statue shots, altho I love the one of the Texas Longhorn cattle a lot...but this is so great due to your having flowers and sage too. I didn't realize sage had these blooms. Guess I've never seen it at bloom time. This is an outstanding photo Don..thanx so much..Verena

He who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers...
