Montana Through The Lens

Last Light

Here be cowboys.

I stumbled on this bull elk while he was feeding in a crevasse between two hills. Notice the velvet on his growing antlers. While an antler is growing, it is covered with highly vascular skin called velvet, which supplies oxygen and nutrients to the growing bone.

Mama prairie dog and one of her pups take a look around.

Makin’ doe eyes at me.

The softer, gentler side of Montana.

Fresh from the groomer’s. Lasted about an hour.

Each Spring, the American White Pelicans make a return to Montana. Pelicans always make me think of tropical climates and it’s funny to see them against snow-capped mountains.

I wish I was a little taller!

Supermoon over the Yellowstone River.

I had about a 10 minute break in the clouds and wanted to try my first extended nighttime exposure.
