And They Are Off

And Number Four, "For The Rest Of Us", takes the early lead.

Seattle Sniper Is Making A Move

Turning the corner and heading down the homestretch they ran. Six horses started and six horses are still in the race.

Tequila Gold Flying Down The Homestretch

Jockey Deborah Hoonan-Trujillo rides Tequila Gold to a second place showing. What is amazing is that just thirty minutes before this race, Deborah was in the starting gate aboard Armed Service when the gates opened and Armed Service went down on the knees. Deborah crashed to the track. Luck and skill were on jockey Deborah Hoonan-Trujillo side. I probably would have gone home for the rest of the day.

Win, Place or Show - The Day Was A Winner

Last Saturday I was at Emerald Downs Race Track. The track held a special program. The public was invited to come early in the morning and watch the jockeys and horses train and prepare for the days races. Tour the stables, get the Official Program for the day and receive free admission to the races that day. What a deal. Emerald Downs holds this program a couple times a year. Watch for it. I took about 1000 images, did I have fun or what?

This image is the result of the Posterize process. Creating a posterized effect, in effect reduces the color palette of an image. I think the orchids become more painting like. I like it.

Love, It Is A Flower

I say love, it is a flower.   And you, its only seed.   Just remember in the winter.   Far beneath the bitter snow.   Lies the seed that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes the rose.
