This is my favorite bison picture. She and I were alone and not very far apart when I took this picture. I think we were equally intrested in one another. She stood there for a long time, just watching me. Bison are usually very docile, and if they do not feel threatened they just go about their usual grazing. I think she is a very young, adult female here judging from her horns, perhaps seeing a human in her environment for the first time. It was an exciting moment for me.
I arrived at the prairie just at sunrise and later than I had planned. Sometimes you have to take what you can get and let nature dominate the workflow. This old tree standing alone seemed a nice forground to the colors of dawn.
This cat followed me all around the ruins I was photographing early Halloween eve. She was a perfect doppelganger of my own cat Hillary, except for one missing toe.
