We just got back from Anthony's Key off of Roatan Honduras. I told the photographer that was shadowing our group that if he was going to photograph me, to let me know so I could pull the mask and regulator. I had wanted such a photo for several years, he done good. That shot was 50-60 feet below the wavesFish-eye view . . . I like it!
Was at a Sort and Rope ranch roping this past Sunday. Its a four part series. Every other weekend we travel out into the Mojave desert to Ridgecrest, about an hour and a half to compete. Winner of the series will be based on points earned from all four roping. Just finished a knife yesterday that will be one of the prizes. Our good friend Janine has breast cancer and is scheduled for surgery in about a week. Word got out and many of the competitors wore pink to honor her. That's Janine on the little black horse in the front row.

Interestingly while we were squeezing together for that shot I was also thinking of @deltaboy and his wife and how she was doing.
Some of the folks from our hood.

Me and Tyler heading in. There are two 60 Ft diameter roundpens connected by a 12 Ft gate, so basically a figure eight pen to work in. All the cattle are on one side and they are wearing numbers. Go in, they tell ya your number, ya sort it into the other pen and rope it. Get the wrong number over and you're disqualified, let your number back and your disqualified.

Janine has one headed. Instead of doing the final event on Sunday the 25th which is a couple of days after her surgery. They rescheduled the whole event to Presidents Day so she could ride.
