HATS off to SHADOWS...

WEST TEXAS HATS
casting a BIG SHADOW...










A memaw and her little sweet grandgirl,
DEEDS....
sitting in the hot TEXAS sun,
watching another grandgirl riding and roping in
a college rodeo. ♥
"FIVE  little grandgirls, lined in a row...   ♥
IN the shadows and the shade
of the TEXAS RODEO."
 Grandgirl, COURTNEY, roping a calf. ♫
I have posted this photo before..........not sure why I like it....but I do.
All the action was waaay too fast for my little point and shoot camera so
I had to be happy ♥ with the photo I got.
Normally, I would delete one like this....but...
just something about it.......
 PINK SATURDAY (only the PINKS of the faces and a tiny bit in the blur...)
SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY

    Oh, BJ, I wish it was scratch and sniff too, but then I would seriously want a big bite or big bowl! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

    Some beautiful grands you got there, girl. And having one of them in the rodeo, how cool is that. I love rodeos anyway, but I can't imagine how I could stand it watching my grand competing. Wait till I tell my grands about this.♥

    I like that photo. It looks really like modern art but you can still tell what it is. I can't believe you have a granddaughter that does that. I like all the girls lined up. So sweet.

    I love that last photo, too! I think it is because it is just a blur of speed and life moving! Love it. It's funny- I almost did a post on shadows tonight too...I will save it for another day~ Yours can't be beat! xo Diana

    I agree BJ, there is something very pleasing about that photo. The blur of colors really show the action but I can still tell what it is! Happy Saturday:>)

    This New Englander thinks of hats when thinking of the Lone Star. Hats, tall and with distinction, to keep the sun off on a hot and dusty day (of which you had so many this year). Cowboys and straw hats - our impressions of Texas up here...As hats are worn a lot by Patti these days, we are warming up to that style!

    Nice shot in motion - I feel the movement, so no need to apologize - the effects are great!

    Nice pictures. The hat shadows are awesome. The hats are hanging but the shadows almost appear to be a person wearing a cowboy hat....intersting!

    I like that roping shot too. It shows action!

    All of this photos you shared with us today are beautiful, but that last one is out of this world. Love the motion. I can just see you there watching it all and having the time of your life. I also like the shot of all of your granddaughters...it is really special. Love the angle from which you shot it. Great photos this week. genie

    Great post. We went to a rodeo when we visited Texas the other year. I can't imagine watching your grand daughter out there!!!

    Great to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays.

    Hi BJ...

    What a sweet and wonderful post, dear friend! Sure looks like you were one Grandma in her "7th heaven"! What fun!!! You sure do have some pretty little granddaughters...I think they take after their beautiful Grandma!

    Loved getting to share a bit of a Texas rodeo with you, my friend! It has been a long time since I've rodeoed in Texas! Loved the photo that you got of your granddaughter competing...it's awesome!

    So happy to have you join in with the fun of Sunday Favorites this week, dear friend! Thank you!!!

    Warmest wishes,
    Chari
