the stock show from my point of view or more things that make me happy....

the stock show didn't offer a lot of time to take pics. in fact, i think i only got my camera out a couple times. (gasp!) but i still ended up with some photos that just make me happy. perhaps they aren't great photos, they certainly won't win any awards, but i still like them and somedays that is all that matters. right?

here are the cows, all fluffed and shined. of course this isn't the traditional angle you would normally see of show/sale cattle, but i love the sun through the cute ear hair. i even like the sun flare at the bottom of the pic. i even like the natural bokeh in the background. (bokeh is the out of focus light shapes.) people try to get bokeh all the time and it just happened by a happy accident. people even use photoshop to make bokeh in their photos. (i hope i just made a link for all you guys to check out what wikipedia says about bokeh!)

so here's the cutest part of the cows. well, the second cutest part. (their chins are the first, but hard to photograph....in fact, i think all animal chins are the cutest part...just check out the closest animal...see? the chin is the cutest!!) oh yeah, back to the nose... their cute slimey noses are such a close second. and yeah, she's all drooly because she was trained to eat treats and when i'd talk sweet to her, she would beg and since i only wanted a pic of her sweet lil nose and didn't have treats, she was a lil drooly....but still wicked cute! (i'm sure all the mom's out there have pics of their babies with drool and/or snot on their faces!)

here is the sky one evening....well, this pic really doesn't need any explaination...

and this is my first attempt at trying to capture the beauty of all the old buildings in and around the stock show. there are so many beautiful buildings around denver and when i lived there i never was brave enough to take a pic. well, this isn't one of the neatest buildings, but i liked all the neon signs in the windows, with the sunset-y clouds. and i also photoshopped a bunch of ugly things out of this pic, mainly powerlines. i was going to show you the before and after, but i thought, that this is things that i love and not a show and tell post, so sorry people, you just don't get to see that today!
