When we come to Florida in March, we always try to find something to do about halfway between where we’re staying and where my mother-in-law spends the winter. This year we decided on Arcadia, FL, where the All-Florida Rodeo was being held. It drew cowboys from all over the country and as far as Manitoba in Canada. Although it couldn’t quite compare to the Calgary Stampede, it was lots of fun and the competition was very good.
There was cattle roping, bronco riding, entertainment by a very talented clown, and barrel racing (the only event for women). These photos are a testament to our great seats and the power of the iPhone camera. I took my “big” camera to the rodeo only to discover that the battery was nearly dead, and I’d left the spare battery at home. I was delighted to get these photos with my phone.
I’m linking up, as always, with Helena and off to see what other collections have been curated this week.
I’d love to see a rodeo – great images you captured
Well thank goodness for the iphone – an exciting Snap collection. Rodeo clowns can be so entertaining & behind that humour is such danger fending off the bulls. The Universe has some odd ways of connecting things; last night I spoke with an ex-chuckwagon driver from the rodeo tour.
Those are some pretty impressive photos for an iPhone! Great freeze action on the bucking bronco!
great fun! I am from Manitoba and know a cowgirl from here who hits the US rodeo circuit…I wonder if she was there!!
What a great SNAP Karen!
Your photos are gorgeous (I always marvel at the quality of pictures taken with the iPhone!)
Thank You~
What a shame about the battery – but seeing how well you did with the phone, I can only imagine what you might have come up with using the big camera!
That does look like good fun. Shame about your big camera but looks like you had good results anyway.
They’re fascinating pictures: you have captured a real flavour of something we don’t get to see over here
That iPhone is indeed a handy tool to have. Listened to Paperclipping Roundtable’s latest program today; one guest does all her memory-keeping with her iPhone and the PL app. Take a listen; I think you’ll find it interesting. Episode 272, March 10.
Cheers~
Cowboys and rodeos have always just been fictions for me – your bright photos show otherwise! You did a splendid job with the phone …
I have been to a rodeo and was astonished at the heat and dust – your photos show off the colours and speed so nicely. Aren’t iphone cameras amazing?
