"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." ---Theodore Roosevelt 1910

Dad's on the Board



     Dad was on his way back to the truck after a morning hunt out on the desert. This buck jumped up out of the willows and was headed down the creek when Dad hit him on the run. We tracked him down and Dad made a follow-up shot. He was getting sore legs during photos so here is his doing the bicycle to get some blood flowing.
