    Oh……this is so lovely…….I adore all that wonderful blur behind. Great color!! You always do such a wonderful job of framing your shots!!

  • Thanks so much, Elizabeth! p.s. Do you think there’s a way for the Home Page creator to somehow be mentioned on the HP? Or maybe a small link that says “about the making of the Home Page”?

    Nice shot!!

  • Thanks so much, Arla! When I wasn’t posting a few shots today, I was running around the Red Desert looking for wild horses in a driving rain storm; found three bands!

    Great ungulate! A beautiful autumn shot.

  • Thanks so much for dropping by, Jan… having a laugh with you about moose in the yard (after you’ve been on a long hike and seen them in the distance)!

    Nicely composed action capture of a Pronghorn! The warm fall colors so nicely compliment the warm shade of the Pronghorn’s color! : )

  • Hi Sandy, thanks so much! p.s. if you spot anything that looks “off” about this shot, would you BMail me? I can think of a few things that look a little processed and am wondering if they hit other folks.

    Beautiful shot, AM. I saw a doco on Yellowstone this month and it showed the migration of the Pronghorn but didn’t say where they went to. We’ll be driving through Casper so maybe we will see them along the way. :)

  • Hi Ann, you will certainly see pronghorn in the Casper area, heehee, check out this one, snoozing in a small pocket park in Casper!
