Now there's a fine idea, balance a cowgal in her finery up on a fence rail amidst a sea of cacti and wait 'til gravity gets the best of her! These days she would be in a bikini and selling auto parts, or perhaps sporting a few assault rifles... Looks like she would be good fun at a party though.
I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest.
I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!
I know what to say.:)
ReplyDeleteTwo things in this picture: cactus and...succulent.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE her!
ReplyDeleteWhat can you say?
ReplyDeleteGreat postcard! Her hair appears to be carved from solid mahogany.
ReplyDeleteAnd her smile appears to be carved from solid ivory.
ReplyDeleteQuite a balancing act. They might as well have left off the caption since since the woman's name, rodeo, and location are all nameless.
ReplyDeleteThere's definitely some dramatic tension between the beauty and the beasts (cactus).
ReplyDeleteI'd bet she went straight to the chiropractor after this contorted pose:)
