Rodeos have been happening now. It’s been a long dry spell. I’ve attending some and plan on taking more in. High school rodeos are on the calendar also. Interest has been shown in the photos I take at these events so I am going to break my collection down by event and post here. They are also posted on the Western Images page. Print or file copies of any of these images are available. At times background is beyond my control. If you are interest in a images that is cluttered, I will do my best to clean it up. Contact me at

PWP Week of August 16 2020
We find ourselves only at the midpoint of August and already there are signs of fall. The golden rod has been blossoming for a few weeks. Rose hips are forming on the bushes. And the crops are ripening more each day. I like fall but not so much what follows. I went to a town close to where I live and found large statues carved from wood. I think if I remember correctly they were made using a chain saw. On the same trip I found two more plush animals to add to my collection. One of these days I will have to make a page for all in my collection. I found a wonderful stone church. All the work to place each stone. Have you ever found images blended in with the stones? If you look careful you can see the image of an old style ladies shoe. I’ve included a few more rodeo shots just to round this week’s contribution out. Hope you enjoy contribution. Follow me Instagram account – Wilma Olmsted for more Western Images. Til next week.

Western Images Page
It’s done. I created a Western Images page. To this page I will add photos from rodeos, barrel racing and other photos that reflect the name of the page. When photos are added I will post here and say what event they were taken at. The photos just added were taken at the Top Line Rodeo, held July 18 & 19 2020 at Clearview Arena. This was the first rodeo in the Qu’Appelle Valley Open Rodeo Series 2020. I hope you enjoy this new page. You can find it listed under Gallery. Comment s are welcome.

PWP Week of July 5 2020
This week The Boy and I were out and about. We both like road trips. We saw two large wall murals. One was called “Market Day”, the other “Dinner in the field”. My peony bush has decided it is time to bloom. It is about a month later than plants in the city. I spent some time with one blossom in Studio 13 using different backgrounds. I have a favorite wonder if you will? No barn would be complete without a barn cat and we have Barn Kitty, the tabby. She decided to come out and see what I was up to. We visited a man who I will call the Gopher Whistler. He does his whistle and gophers come from all over for the bread he feeds them. For him they are very tame. The are cute but can cause a lot of damage. Here are shots from our week, again, a bit of everything. Hope to see you next week.
PWP Week of June 28 2020
This week was a week of celebration. July 1st for my Canadian friends and July 4th for my American friends. Hope all had a good time. I spent July 1st home with my family. The only fireworks was the discussion on what to have for supper! We had warm/hot weather and thunderstorms this week. The shots of the clouds are straight out of the camera. No magic editing. The clouds looked fierce but we only had minimum wind and 3/10th of rain. My assistant the trail camera caught a whitetail doe and her fawn and two of the bucks that spend time in our area. The Boy and I went on a road trip one day. Saw some cattle and a moose on a hill that someone had built . Looks pretty realistic. One evening when we were out and about, there were turkey vultures flying over head. That does give a person a funny feeling! On one of our hot days The Boy and I spent time in Studio 13 experimenting with different props and backgrounds. I had a good time, felt good getting the creative parts of the brain working. The Boy had a good nap!
All in all it was a good week. Hope to see you next week.
