Shane and I took a ride into town Saturday morning. Blair's annual Gateway to the West celebration was in full swing and we thought it would be fun to take in some of the sights and activities.
Of course, there was a midway with the usual rickety rides and this young lady was in charge of one of them. With her hands otherwise occupied, she maneuvered over the steel safety fence with poise and grace -- her pink parasol no doubt providing some needed balance.
Two beers and two hours later, we moseyed home, but not until after I had taken 180 photos.
More to come...

Sharing with Pink Saturday, Sunday Snapshot.
Looking foward to it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI Love it. One question Only 180? :) B
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture you show. Know everything you need to take many pictures - sometimes takes me / us over 200 and maybe I spend only 10 of them. The weather here in Denmark at present. Rain + 13 degrees .... summer here has been on "standby" Wishing you a good Sunday. Hanne Bente
ReplyDeleteShe is definitely less than 200lbs.
ReplyDeleteBeer and photography does not go along together for me! My shots would probably have more camera shake than ever !
ReplyDeleteNancy, a great 'moment' you captured! The umbrella just pops! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it so darned easy to take 200 photos in a minute of time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great photo! It doesn't take long to shoot 180 shots.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good day, I can't wait to see the rest :)
ReplyDeleteWhen Hubs and I both take our cameras out to the same event. I come back with 200, he comes back with 50. Love the pink parasol.
ReplyDeleteA fun shot, I love these festivals.I was at the Italian fest in Omaha yesterday.
ReplyDeleteSome of the best people watching...and photo opportunities.
ReplyDeleteOh, to be young again. Looking forward to seeing all those shots!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun photo you captured! Anything with an umbrella shouts fun to me though. :-))
ReplyDeleteWell now, Fun all around.
ReplyDeleteFun!
ReplyDeleteBeer and photography - can't wait to see the rest of the photos!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture, you are such a wonderful photographer. I'm looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteJust read your comment about Angel. Please don't feel bad, you are so supportive of my blog, always have been. We can't possibly catch every single post. She died May 12th and next week it will be 13 years since she laid down on our doorstep and refused to leave. She never left my side....Well, you know how they are these German shepherd dogs. Thanks, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteNeat picture!
ReplyDeleteFun, fun, fun! And 180 shots, well now you have lots to edit... so how did you desaturate the background? I love that effect!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the 180 photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool photo! I love that pink parasol!

180 photographs...that'll take a while to work through. Look forward to their publishing on your blog
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see some of those photographs! This one is a good one!
ReplyDeleteCool shot, Nancy! I like the touch of color!
ReplyDeleteYour selective coloring is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that her one foot isn't even on the ground but the fence as well. She's good. :)
I'm always stunned when I go to download and see how many pics I've taken just walking around the yard.
What a fun shot! She certainly does have talent.
ReplyDeleteLove what you have done this Nancy! Also love the softness.
ReplyDeletegood shot!

That is a neat photo! Very clever! My normal photo shoot is 200+ photos...doesn't seem excessive to me! What does seem excessive is going through them and eliminating the ones not worth keeping...THAT is the job! I took over 500 at 2 different events this past weekend - I can't even THINK about that editing job!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun photo! Looking forward to 179 more! Looks like you have a fun day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great capture! I love the pink parasol.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun shot.. I just love the editing..
ReplyDeleteWow this is a brilliant shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat, great photo! 180...lol! I took 80 on a one hour drive on Sunday....which with all my stops made it into almost a 2 hour drive.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous processing and comp! Whets my appetite for the other 179. :)
ReplyDeleteCan you give us a tutorial on how you processed this photo? Seriously. I have been wanting to do something like this with some photos of my girls and haven't figured it out yet. If you're not a tutorial gal, how about at least what program you used?
ReplyDeleteLove the photo.
cool shot...what fun...
ReplyDeletegorgeous capture, composition, and post title!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!!
xoxo
Ah, a beautiful photo - love the pink parasol too!
