Taken July 1, 2010, Canada Day at the Bar U Ranch, south of Longview, Alberta, Canada, in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains.
I spent many long hours with this photo and made up 52 variations before I was satisfied. I then took them to my day job and had 5 people pick out their favorites. I have posted this photo and the other three below into my different alter-egos here on RB. I do hope you will like one of these versions.
I do hope you enjoy my work. Comments are graciously accepted. Favoring is greatly appreciated and will garner a response. Purchases are fantastic!
The Bar U Ranch is now a part of Parks Canada and was once one of the largest breeding stables for the wonderful huge draft horses, the Percherons.
Yes, it’s the best one!! You chose right, again awesome work. It so nice to play and like the end result. I call it doodling with pictures!! I love the golden horseshoe and the matching boot, really nice touch and hell with it, I’ll fave again also!! :))

I don’t know if you got to see them all, as I had to hurriedly upload them all and then link them. I finally got them all up now.
