The Real Ratkiller
Over the years this friend of The Pit has made a few appearances during our polo games and I’ve been lucky enough to have my camera in hand. This past Sunday I think my luck could not have got much better because until this week, I have not shot any photos with my “good” camera with the big lens since the NACCC. For some reason I brought it along and I’m glad I did.

Now you just gotta train him to ride on your handlebars and rip out the eyes of opposing players. Nice photos.

I went to lunch a while back down here in DC and on our way to get our food, we saw a hawk eating a pigeon in the park we used to play polo in. It was seriously awesome.
