Here are photos of some of the Buccanner's Ball costume. Let's start with Nellie Blue

[Lazy K]

Lazy K and Nellie Blue. Wild Shot took the photo and told us to look mean. Obviously, Nellie doesn't know how to look mean.

[Lazy K]

Nellie Blue and Silver Heart. Nellie REFUSED to be in the costume contest. Silver Heart won second place.

[Lazy K]

Chiz, who has seen the light and is now a citizen of New Mexico!

Shirley Shooter out did herself with this great costume! Oops, that lady can shoot! Better not say anything bad about her. That's my sweetie Slim Weed in the background

[Lazy K]

AAARGH! Shiver me timbers it was rainy and cold that night. Lots of heaters around

[Lazy K]

A family act.

[Goldie]

[Lazy K]

The Winners

[Sweet Violet]

Yes, yes, yes!!! You look FABULOUS, Lazy K!!! WOW!!! And I agree with you. I don't think Nellie could look mean even if she wanted to!! Nellie, you look AWESOME in your piratess outfit!! How fun ladies!! You did a wonderful job on your costumes!!! Thanks for the pictures LK!!!

[Nevada Skye]

You all look great! And congratulations on your shooting too.

[Coffee Em]

Lookee! Lookit all the buccaneers (and sometimes a bucca-nearly or two!) Everybody looks absolutely wonderful, and K and Nellie, fierce-looking or not, you make great pirates!

I was glad to see Sloans Easy in these photos--I missed seeing any pics of her at EoT, and her dresses are always so splendid. I was afraid she'd quit partakin' of thishere foolishness!

[Bloomin']

Now THAT looks like a whole bunch of fun, fun, fun!!! Nellie and Blue and Lazy K, your outfits are outstanding - creative and beautiful! Love the sword and dagger effects and the hat and head/waist wrap...Oh what am I saying, I loved everything!!!

Bloomin'

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Those are great photos! Congrats Lazy K on your win!

Now, I want to know what that tattoo was that Nellie was sporting "Shotglass Style"?:chick

[Nellie Blue]

So glad you asked...or should I say Wobbly's so glad you asked....it's a dragon.

Shotglass...I TRIED to make it dance, but I just can't get it to work! :lool Your lessons just couldn't help me!

[Nellie Blue]

And I had one on the back.

[Nellie Blue]

Here's another one of Lazy K...Alley fashion...a side view. A pirate with a bustle!

[Nellie Blue]

Here's some of my favorite people....Johnny Meadows and Old Man Meadows looking a little wild!

[Nellie Blue]

Old Man Meadows offered me a drink...

[Nellie Blue]

Irish Jack Clary was definitely in character.

[Nellie Blue]

Creek Harding as a river pirate had an authentic Cajun accent. His story was that he used flat bottom boats and when the ships would run aground in the Mississippi, they would "help" them by offloading their cargo for them so they could get off the sand. Yes, that's snake skin on his hat.

[Nellie Blue]

I enjoyed playing poker against Chiz...he's quite a lot of fun!

[Nellie Blue]

As the night went on, everyone kept lightening their loads. It was funny to see this table full of weapons...

[Nellie Blue]

Another photo of Sloan Easy...

[Nellie Blue]

Another photo of the Meadows gang...Old Man Meadows, Echo Meadows, and Johnny Meadows.

[Nellie Blue]

It sounds like they're going to continue with the Pirate theme next year...so get your costumes ready and come out for this fun shoot!!! :tban :tban :tban

[Nellie Blue]

Founders Ranch is beautiful at the end of August.

[Nellie Blue]

There were wild flowers EVERYWHERE. I didn't get a photo of the burms...but they were covered with flowers like this.

[Duzy Wales]

Wonderful pictures! :ty :ty :ty

Thanks to all for the pics.

Maybe one of these days we will make it some of the shoots out west.

A camper or trailer of some kind would probably be a good idea. But we don't have one. but might have to look around for one.

Is there electric at the range, or do you have to have a generator?????

You need a generator if you want to run a hair dryer or such, or stay about 5 miles away at an RV park with those amenities....we mostly use the battery, especially since it is easier to do hairstyles when your hair isn't squeaky clean
