This is the first of a number of pictures I will be posting from the Spirit of the West Festival that was held here recently! This is a mounted shooter. They ride horseback in a timed event where balloons are set up in a course and the riders come out shooting! Any misses or unbroken balloons count against their time. They shoot only blanks, but the gun powder still travels far enough to break the ballons. This gal is "Dead-eye Darla"..(you dont want to know what happened to the last man who cheated on her) ;-)

"Bang' ... you got me .... LOL. What a fun shot Dan ... I'm not sure I'd want to mess with "Dead - eye Darla". She looks like she packs a mean one & she must be a sharp shooter if I ever saw one. LOL. Great shot ... beautiful horse also. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.

She looks like a tough one Dan. I don't think I'd want to tangle with her LOL. This is an awesome motion shot Dan. You captured her look of concentration perfectly. Can't wait to see the rest my friend!

I can't imagine that anyone would want to cheat on her, Dan. I love the horse. He's a beauty. Nice action shot! Can't wait for more of these because this is something a little different.

Got yourself a live one there Dan. This is real "wild, wild west "action you got going on here. Great stop-action shot (pardon the pun). Looking forward to seeing some more of these type of images. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face tonight :~)

Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand. ~Margery Williams The Velveteen Rabbit~
