    I posted one of these in another gallery and got enough comments that I thought I'd post a few more of them here...

    Thanks so much for looking and for the wonderful comments. This was one of those times when the photos had nothing to do with success....

    It's all about the subjects.... :219: :219: :219: :219:

    Those oinkers will do just about anything for an Oreo! I have seen pig races at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo and Oreos have always provided the incentive... Great shots...

    Nice pigs and nicely shot, too!

    How do they get the pigs to run in a circle. Do they just tell them there's an oreo at the end of the race?

    Too bad you didn't submit this for the 'unusual sports' Sports Challenge a few weeks ago!

    These are wonderful. I keep coming back to look at them.

    I'm wondering, what where they chasing (to make them run??)

    Never heard of a pig race in all my days but these are too cool. Love that first one, it's a wall hanger for sure! Bravo!
