Happy Cowboy
This cowboy brought his horse to the Cowboy Life on the Empire Ranch open house in Sonoita, Arizona. This ranch has been around since the middle 1800’s and is still a working ranch. I think we’ve also seen him at some of the Tombstone events.
Photographed with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 with a couple of free texture layers from stock.xchng.com.

Thanks, Tara. There were a few fellows that were smiling, but most did not. Being a cowboy is a serious business, you know. LOL

Fantastic portrait Linda – love the background colour :)))
Linda Gregory replied
Thanks very much, Trish. It actually was the color the sky became when I applied the multiply blending mode to the photograph. Lucky, huh?
