I just love her costume like what an Egyptian Queen would have worn
By now, I have learnt from my Spanish blogger friends that these costumes are of central American origins. Mybe the festival parade should be labelled as "Latin Parade".

The horse had plans to touch the moon,
The rider disagreed too soon.
One clung to leather, grit, and hope,
The other launched a gravity trope.
The crowd held breath, the dust took flight,
Man and beast debated right.
And somewhere in that airborne blur
The horse declared, "No passengers, sir."

Dad used to love beach fishing, getting flat heads or brims. They are great for fish stock.

A cloud of dust, a flash of hide,
The calf had little wish to abide;
The horse gave chase with practiced grace,
While courage wore a youthful face.
Yet every cowboy learns this truth:
Speed belongs to restless youth;
And though the rider takes the praise,
The horse earns half the laurel days.

The calf chose freedom,
the cowboy chose skill;
the horse, meanwhile,
did all the real work.
A loop kissed the air,
dust rose in applause
out here, even gravity
tips its hat to good timing.

The bull had plans for a spectacular flight,
The rider preferred to stay upright.
Dust filled the air, hats tilted askew,
As eight angry seconds became only two.
One clown stepped forward, another ran wide,
Each hoping to stay on the sensible side.
The crowd held its breath, then burst into cheer
For nobody paid to see caution this year.
The bull struck a pose worthy of fame,
The rider kissed earth and blamed it on aim.
And somewhere in all of the chaos and din,
Gravity smiled and chalked up another win
