Willy

For one of our most fun projects, we attended the 4-H competition at the Western Montana Fair. We had to find a kid who was participating in the contest and photograph him or her with their chosen animal. Again, we were supposed to tell a story in three pictures. I immediately saw a little boy with an ear to ear grin and a big cowboy hat trying to wrestle his Rhode Island Red hen out of its cage, and I knew he'd be my subject. Willy was about half the size and nearly half the age of the other competitors in the novice category. Willy's only eight, and stands only about four feet tall. He's my hero. Here are the best photos of Willy.
