Free Camel Rides

Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird

Zoology

The first of these two photos was taken just moments before the girl pictured turned around and yelled to her parents, "Hey, he just took a sip of my Coke!" Yes, the animal snuck a sip while she wasn't looking. Absolutely classic.


Little Miss Silver Spurs

A friend of mine was assigned to shoot the 2011 Miss Silver Spurs and Little Miss Silver Spurs pageant held Monday night in conjunction with the Osceola County Fair. I tagged along and came away with a few shots of my own.

Going The Extra Mile

Not all photographers would get into a pen with a feisty bull (one that likes to swing its horns around) just to make a picture of a petting zoo for a local weekly newspaper. But my friend Octavian is not your average photographer. He spent some time Monday night alongside this African Watusi, waiting for the perfect moment when a bright-eyed kid would come up with a handful of feed for our furry friend. According to the folks at Eudora Farms, the Watusi are a breed of cattle that originated in Uganda and trace back more than 7,000 years. They are said to be the largest horned cattle in the world, with horns reaching up to 8 feet in length.




Osceola County Fair

Carnival rides, stunt dogs, and bull riding. What more does a kid need?
