Stock Show
January 17, 2007 – Click on image for higher resolution version.
I saw this magnificent Texas Longhorn steer at the National Western Stock Show in Denver yesterday. Few of my photos turned out, due to my reluctance to use flash photography without warning, so go see Connections and look at her photographs in her blog posts Reminiscing!, Cattle Judging, and Hats, Hardware and Humor. She used to exhibit livestock herself, and writes about her memories.
I had been avoiding Stock Show and similar events for several years, since I didn’t know how strenuous I would find it considering my heel problems. However, although I was exhausted when I got home last night, I rated my pain as a two this morning. Since most mornings these days I rate the pain as two to four (on a scale of one to ten) I was quite pleased.
