110 years

That's a very long time  to hold a rodeo, but the very fine folks of Gunnison Colorado have done just that.  Cattlemen's Days is a week long event ending with the rodeo.

                                         My boots need a good cleaning

                                              a patriotic beginning

                                          the Queen of the Cattlemen's Days

                                 and our favorite event...................bull riding

Great weekend, weather cooperated............great job Gunnison!!

Now to the wildflower festival in Crested Butte just up the road a bit.

Might I bore you.....

with more of Mr Doodles photos of the Rodeo. He just loves the challenge of getting the action shots. And after three days of rodeooooooooing he got a lot of action shots...........748 action shots actually YIKES!!! I just finished putting them ALL on CD's so he can look at them at his leisure. But Mr Doodles thinks it's pretty cool I would put up his photos on my blog.

Here ya go............saddle bronc riders.....I loved this guy his shirt matches his chaps and they are lime green.........not that's a brave Cowboy.

More Bull......

Some bulls just look meaner than others

turned his head and laughing at me........I think

on their back they just go ballistic
