California Rodeo - The Horse Parade - Salinas, California

It's California Rodeo time again in Salinas!

Here are a few images.

I have put up a web gallery of quite a few images from the horse parade at http://montereyjohnphotography.com/Galleries/California_Rodeo/California_Rodeo/index.html











Here comes the stage!

Late Summer on The Central Coast

2:43 PM on a mid-September day on The Central Coast.

Oh yeh, that's why I live here :)

Operation Yellow Ribbon - Salinas, CA

Today McShane’s Nursery hosted an event for Operation Yellow Ribbon which provides support for our troops in the form of amenities of life that the troops might not otherwise have in Iraq and elsewhere, things like pogeybait (you vets know what I am talking about), novels, snack food, batteries, toiletries etc.

It was moving to see this outpouring of support for our armed forces in the combat zones. The signs that invited folks to honk who shared this support were enthusiastically responded to. The honking went on for the entire three hours of the event. My previously flagging spirits have been lifted.

God bless America.

Yep, that's right, MJ is getting (getting?) paranoid. I put a layer in the web image for a copyright bug. I tried to be discreet with a harmonizing color and not putting it smack in the middle of the picture. However, if I'm going to go commercial, it's time to protect things.

Indeed, Be Kinder Than Necessary
