The cowboy


What can you see in this cowboy's eyes? I see a longing to go into the pastures and ride for hours. A wish for home, a hug from a mom or sister. His eyes reflect his youth, inexperience, and possibly a fear of his name being pulled to ride the impossible bronc. The tilt of the hat shows his open and friendly personality, his easy smile hovering on the corners of his lips. He is a friend, a brother, a son, and city boy. He is a 4-Her.

I like how you classify him as a 4-Her among many other things. I was in 4H from aboout 10 yrs old until I was 18. I loved it most of the time.
