I so look forward to the Kentucky Derby every year. I think this year though, I might have gotten too excited as it rained 80% of the two-week festival. And it rained on Derby Day. So the usual crowd that gets together to party was thinned out by the thunderstorms. But we made the best of it.
I didn’t get any awesome shots – but being with friends is what’s important. To me at least. It completely irks me that Lykins won the pot. And I still stand by my original thought that Super Saver is a stupid name for a horse.

Caveman eating is so yummy.
My sweet girlfriends.
Shorty & Stretchy.
Looks like someone got his hands on Mel’s mammajamma camera.
Derby hats are fun – one part of Derby I haven’t dappled in.
TGault and his mohawk. I think we need an intervention for his hair’s sake.
The hubs wandering off… probably talking to “Poppa”.
Depressing. Damn you, Lykins.

shoutabyss - Such amazing photographs. I wish I knew your secret! :)
And your comment about “Super Saver” make me think a lot. I’ve been doodling around with the idea of possible names if I had a race horse of my own. It has been fun. Maybe I’ll make a blog post out of it soon…
shutterboo - You can’t have Split Decision – that’s what I’m naming my horse. :)
Susan the Pod-Mate - You have the world’s most photographic friends. Granted, a talented photographer helps, but still…
Susan the Pod-Mate - Also, I think I meant to say “photogenic” maybe? I think the sun is getting to me…
Dawn - You can’t make TGault get rid of his mohawk – it is WAY too awesome. I mean, seriously. What’s he use in that? Cement?
shutterboo - I’m afraid of losing an eye. And he uses a lot of product. Like way more than I’d buy in a year.
