This is supposed to be a horse parade, but I guess anything goes.

The rodeo pictures in the same album are not posted here because these were not taken with NEX.

We had a fun day, hope you enjoy these too.

Thanks Brian,
good shots especially as you were shooting into the light!

I like the hat stall best and would suggest cropping the very top of the photo.
Cheers,
Paul

Yes, those tricky back-lit shots are really clear and the exposures are spot-on.

The little girl in the pink dress riding a pony is just adorable!
