WHAT A WAY TO SPEND A SUMMER EVENING

What were you doing this past Wed. night? I spent 2 hours hanging around Capones Bar in Cedar Rapids watching these magnificent horses.
He seems to be saying "Hello are you really going to stand out here in 100 degree heat just to look at ME!" "Humans go figure"
I even got a shot of the dog on the wagon
They came down 16th Ave and across the bridge,around the block and to Capones parking lot. For a little over an hour they stood there so majesticly while everyone took there picture. In case you haven't guessed I LOVE CLYDESDALES. They are one of the most beautiful horses.
