After seeing the movie "Brokeback Mountain" back in December, 2005, I decided to go see the National Western Stock Show Rodeo Parade in January 2006. (Click on the below images for larger views.)

I found cowboys came in all sizes at the parade. And cowgirls, too. The parade begins. Shades of Jack and Ennis, it's a sheep drive! These tireless and amazing dogs really did their herding job. The parade ends and it's time for the necessary stuff, (it's all those horses and cattle, you know).
