"It's been a real dry year!" by

Poking a little fun here, at cowboy’s favorite conversation, the weather, and the condition of the pasture!

This is a combination of two photos I took with the Nikon D300, 70-300 mm lens. I took “legs” from two different photos. Photoshop Elements 7 helped me put it all together. Photos were taken at a ranch rodeo in Choteau, Montana.

About Donna Ridgway

Enjoying what Montana has to offer, greatly influences my work. Rodeos, horses, mountains, all of this plays a part in what I create. I lived here in Montana, taking care of cattle and horses on the ranch until I retired a few years ago.

I now spend my time recreating in Montana, and creating photos and paintings from what I see here in this state.

    This “cracks” me up Donna! GROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN, LOL! Seriously, great job!

  • Ha ha! It made me laugh too, I had so much fun doing it! Do you gotta be a farmer or rancher to get it?

    Yup, I know just what these cowboys are saying “how are we going to feed the stock, pay the bank loan and rodeo this season” This image is so true to the West. Your sepia application to this photo has given it a timelessness!!! wonderful image.

  • Thank you Gisela!
