Photo of the Week: Cowboy Cop Shows Off Roping Skills at Livermore Rodeo

LIVERMORE, CA — Patch reader Lisa Davis sent this fun photo of a cop — er — cowboy practicing his roping skills while out at the Livermore Rodeo in June. No word on if he was able to snag the surly steer but they say practice makes perfect.

Cell phones capture amazing images. True DSLR cameras render detail that almost looks surreal.

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we’d love to feature it on Patch.

We’re looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.

So, bring ‘em on.
