While I was talking a short walk today, I noticed a guy wearing a cowboy hat sitting by the side of the path. He has a boy with him (presumably his son), and a red wagon was parked nearby. I walked around the area for a long time, but couldn't figure out a good way to take a picture of the scene without detection.

There was a cowboy dude, a boy, and a wagon, so I named this entry "Cow Boy Wagon"... Heh.

In the end, I decided to walk by and stealthily take a couple pictures in their general direction. I knew that as long as I catch them in the picture, I could extract a good version somehow using photoshop.

I took two pictures in their direction before I wimped out and put the camera away. After walking away a good distance, I noticed them get up and prepare to leave. I went over to the grass and sat down, and sure enough, they soon walked right by.

That gave me a few more opportunities to photograph the interesting sight. I don't know why it was so interesting, but I don't usually see the combination of a cowboy, a boy, and a red wagon in the field.

In other news, my brother was gone today at a tournament in Sacramento. He came back announcing that he had gotten first, and added two new trophies to his collection. He was the highest ranked player in the tournament by a significant margin, so if he DIDN'T get first, he would have lost a lot of rating points.
