Still in Wyoming -

Still out in the West of Wyoming but actually East from my home base in Oregon. A second day we went out to find animals to photograph and not much luck out the South Fork Road from Cody.

There often is plenty out there but was not our day and we were giving up hope. Then some Pronghorn came into view and got Grandma to pull the van over to a safe place. I was along a fence line about 200 yards plus from the animals. Viewing from about 100 plus feet higher then they were and the wind was blowing about 20 mph. I held the camera to the top of an old fence post to steady the shot and it worked okay.

I have cropped in some on this so the animals are really not very crisp but they were not spooked with me being so far away, and not even sure they knew we were there! I will continue to seek those Pronghorn out and get some good shots.

Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Visit to Wyoming

Well back in March, not so long ago my daughter and I headed back East to Wyoming to visit my folks or her grandparents depending on who's interpretation. It was over our local school districts spring break and back there the temps were starting rise and the snow inching its way back up the mountain sides.

This can bring us some good photo opportunities near Yellowstone Park as some animals are still down lower to the rivers and creeks during the daytime and head back in the hills during the evening and night. We had hopes of catching some Elk, Bison and possibly Grizzly Bear as it had been reported some had broken their hibernation.

We didn't have luck on those but did run into some small groupings of Big Horn Sheep near the N. Shoshone river (I think that is the name of it). Also have numerous shots of Mule Deer and some Pronghorn and will add those to the regular website when I make the time.

Here I have two shots, one being out the airplane window as we fly over the cascades out SeaTac Airport and the other is a pretty solid Ram. They have lighter coats as the winter wears on into spring then will start getting their darker brown coats later in Summer to fall.

Thanks for checking things out! Tim
