Hello All!
I havn't had much time with the move lately to go out and do photoshoots... so I don't know how crazy I am about this paticular composition but since I LOL practically risked my life to get two feet away from this snorting foot pounding stomping bison here, I thought I would share it today haha..
There is a place nearby that has old western buggys and wagons for movie sets and a horse coral. I regularly take the girls to feed the horses carrots there. Cept two of the horses had been sold off and there were two huge angry bison in this one stall. They were snorting and stomping. Kids said to me " Mom don't get too close - those horse ladys say they can be pretty dangerous. I waited for the horse workers to drive off in thier big old white truck in a wake of dust..., when they were gone so I went over and stuck my head and upper body thru the gate. This one finally took a rest and I nervously got a few feet away from this guy . This tempermental bison was really
NOt AT ALL happy about his new living arrangements~!_ or me getting so close ~!!!_
-a few times before he rested he started to charge and I backed off . ( uhm My family thinks I am quite crazy) . They sure are beautiful animals though. Those horns do seem a little intimadating though I must say I was trying my best not to shake when I took this macro with my little pocket nikon from two feet away!! LOL...
Have a great day there!! still trying to get things a bit more organised in my new home here and then lots of school events going on - tonight is a big harvest feed . (Both JAnel and Chrissy won the corn husking events for thier classes( one wins for each class out of 30 students )yesterday hehe.,.. heehee i am a proud Mom! ). I canno believe its October already where did the year go ?
Getting colder here finally have to turn on the heat in this home !!..
* please view at full size to see him best thank you!
Love to you all!

EXCELLENT Bison capture. The ones I see are never this clean. A regal portrait! :)

Everyone looks at an image differently. Here the reflection in the eye really draws me in; if anything I'm trying to see you as the photographer reflected while ignoring the other 99.9% of the image. Not that the 99.9% is bad, it's very good! Am I weird or what! Looks like there were 2 of you at the time of shooting? A really interesting shot!

Ahhhh, what we won't do for our art. Super capture - magnificent beast. Just remember this when your kids do something - ummm, less than prudent.

You didn't let those guys buffalo you with all their snortin' and posturing, did you? You gotta show them who's boss, my dear. Excellent photo of the magnificent beast, Kims. Is that a beard or goatee I see under the jaw?
