Yes, this sign on the tailgate of a trusty old utility vehicle ("ute", as we call it) caught my eye because of its weather-beaten look and of course because of the strong colours against the white metal.
So of course I had to ask the owner if he would mind if I took a couple of quick shots. He just chuckled and gave me permission. I promised I would frame the shots really tight, so that the number plate wouldn’t be seen in the frame.
What I should have asked him, in retrospect, was how often he actually gets away to "Yee-ha" at a rodeo.

Oh that IS gorgeous!
It is a fearful and wondrous thing to think that some folks down under and Texans have a great deal in common...
It's probably a good thing for us that y'all are so well separated.

Pretty good!
A lot of character in that shot!
Around these parts "Ute" means something else entirely -- and it's all about football -- the American version :)
Great shot, and I believe him :)!
nice framing. :) have a great friday, David.
Only you could male a truly awful subject into a brilliant photo!
With a wife called Danger he probably doesn't get out much!
cool!
Great catch on the bumper sticker. You have a wonderful eye for behind a camera.
In addition to enjoying your very clever photos, I always appreciate your titles.

That is so funny, David!
