Going through old pictures..

It's amazing to see how your taste changes over time. On a trip to Wildlife Safari back in June, I took a few random pictures of the animals. I'll usually go through them and play around with my favorites and save them in a separate folder. After looking at this one I was kind of surprised that I hadn't played around with it sooner.
Anyway, I've always really liked this peacock and am glad I wandered back into that folder and took the time to play around with the picture. Oh, and also that I ran back into the parking lot to take a picture of him. :)

Rag Doll

My sister's band, Rag Doll, has been together for over a year now and was in desperate need of some band pictures for flyers and stuff. So between sound check and the start of the show, we took our 5 minutes and ran around the block taking a few quick shots. We still have to do a more dedicated shoot (with hopefully more than 5 minutes), but here's some examples of what we ended up with: 

Grrrlz Rock Show November 6, 2011

I can't believe how much local talent there is, especially in the younger girls. I was blown away by so many girls. One of the bands that played was my sister's band, Ragdoll. They rocked, as always.

Sutherlin Stampede 2011

As a horse owner and western rider, I naturally love rodeos. Basically anything western, old west, rustic, and horse related actually. We weren't able to stay long, but we did get to see some roping, bull riding, broncos, and barrel racing (I actually got to see my friend, Courtney's, run). I haven't been to a rodeo in, oh, at least ten years, but I'm glad I went to this one.

Graffiti Cruise 2011

If you're into classic cars, muscle cars, or rat rods, this is the place to be. A few of my favorites from the cruise.
