Hello, 2 weeks ago my 3 yr old race bred whip injured himself in a final at a coursing competition. We did not see it happen, nor did the judge see any accident thru the binocs. He was on a hare w/ 2 other powerful whips in natural terrain and there was a lot of work-it was the course of the...

A hunt finished on finals, before dark is wonderful. Even so, there is still the daunting 4-6 hour drive home. No warm friendly pub to hang out in with our dogs and toast the days courses. Instead a quick stop at Mr. McDonald's drive thru on I-5 and hopefully Starbucks is still open. I have to...

The day grows long but with each exciting course we are rejuvenated. If we aren't getting enough courses off, we may not be getting along too well. For some reason there is a rule against drinking in the field during our hunts-perhaps we should propose that one be removed at the next board...

We enter a field that we pray is full of cooperative jackrabbits. Hopefully we won't see any tarantulas and even more hopefully no rattlesnakes. Hopefully our breakfasts agree with us. I say "we" but maybe its just me. -Lisa io_honey1_24__8

We park the cars, and all 10-20 of us quietly prepare our dogs, and load ourselves with everything we could possibly need. Potentially we may not see our cars again until dark. Or a real bathroom, or a bush large enough to be a bathroom. -Lisa io_honey_1_24__4

I drive 4-5 hours to the Central Valley, guzzling Starbucks coffee to keep me awake. I drive in the middle of the night, breaking posted speed limits, in my japanese SUV, to get to the draw at the homey and welcoming Denny's Restaurant. Denny is a charming chap known for ability to cook...

Wow Lisa, this is a great photo. Would you please tell us a bit about where this photo was taken? Cheers, catchjack These coursing photos were taken in the southern part of the Central Valley area of California. The area is known for it's pastoral beauty and charm. -Lisa io_honey_1_24_1

Tony, Shoot, just received your last post after I posted. I knew it was to good to be true that they were yours. -Lisa :(

Tony, The pictures are wonderful. If by any chance you own them, bring them next time you are on the west coast at a hunt or race meet. I am a photographer and professional B&W darkroom printer in Ca, and have handled glass negs before or can work from original prints. I always look for this...
