Creepy Crawly

The other night I looked out my office window to find this new resident. It's been hanging out since. Luckily it's not poisonous to humans & so I leave it to remain & catch insects in it's web. It's a garden spider, Argiope Aurantia if you want a specific Latin name.

Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo

Hello All
A little overdue yet again...
This past weekend I got out to the Rodeo. Shooting directly into late afternoon sun and dodging railings made for the less than optimum shooting conditions, but here are a few from the day.

The bronc rider is one of my homestate guys, from South Dakota, unfortunately can't remember which one...


The Bull's name is Troubador. He's well known on the PBR circuit, with Mike White recently riding him for a season record of 95.5 points! This is one brutal bull!
