There is nothing more American then the rodeo. Every rodeo begins with the flag girls. These young women begin to learn to carry the flag at a very young age . It is part of being in a rodeo family. They travel from rodeo to rodeo and some arenas have as many as 12 girls they can call on. This young flag girl also rides the bulls and breaks broncs. This is a tradtion that often is handed down from mother to daughter.

My photo, No Takers, was taken at a local carnival that unfortunately had few attendees. When i snapped the photo, i was concentrating on the carney who looked so bored, even despondent about no one playing the Bowler Roller game. The person walking by who appeared not to want to be noticed by the carney was an added bonus.
