Mutton Bustin' - Richmond State Fair

Greg McDonald puts on a GREAT SHOW with the Eastern National Mutton Bustin’ Championships. It is all about young kids riding sheep just like the bull riders of the wild west. These sheep have attitudes and the kids are tough. Every kid hits the ground! The only bruised thing was a few egos. Greg’s son Kevin is the safety clown and his wife Melinda is the timer. Great fun! Great event! I can not wait to go back next year.

Two links to a many more pictures.

Titan Triggerfish, Yap Micronesia


Titan Triggerfish are usually a bit wary of divers. The exception is during the nesting
season when they lay eggs. At that time they will chase you away from the nest and bite.
Notice they have large teeth. This was not nesting season, and I caught this fellow
by luck. This was taken with a Canon 5D, ISO-125, 16-35 mm lens, f/9.0 at a 1/160th.
I was very close for this wide angle shot. A little crop but no PS3.

Check out the eye.!

Best back at Inlet Fitness.

This young lady caught my attention on the pull-up station.
She has very strong well defined back muscles. I thought this would
make a great series/collage for the Inlet fitness wall.
(I have been doing collage pictures of various exercises for the gym
wall: Spin, boxing, speed bag, Yoga, .etc)

I asked her husband to ask her if I could take pictures of her back.
