This spring I had the opportunity to attend an awesome calf branding in May, Idaho. One of the best I've ever been to. Great hands, everyone worked well together and couldn't have asked for better weather.
Here are a few pictures I took that afternoon.

| Another horse that just grabs my attention behind the camera I was also giving shots. At one point in time...Wayne Baker had to remind me to "Come Shoot this one" with a shot....as I had got distracted by a pretty pony pulling one to the fire & was shooting with my camera :) |

| Big beautiful strong mountian horse! I was clearly smitten by this fine specimen of horse flesh. Justin warned not to brag on his horse too much... It would give him a big head :) |
