Yellowstone National Park - A pair of frisky young Bison don't quite see eye to eye despite best efforts!
I learned last summer that if you post a photo of this animal on Instagram and call it a buffalo at least one person will tell you that this is a bison.
This is one of the finalists in the Photographers Forum Magazine's anuall photo contest. It will be in a hardcover addition called 'Best of Photography 2010' that comes out in December 2010. This was taken at the Badlands National Park in South Dakota.

This is one of a very small number of places where you can see bison in the wild.

“A painted landscape is always more beautiful than a real one, because there's more there. Everything is more sensual, and one takes refuge in its beauty. And man needs spiritual expression and nourishing. It's why even in the prehistoric era, people would scrawl pictures of bison on the walls of caves. Man needs music, literature, and painting-all those oases of perfection that make up art-to compensate for the rudeness and materialism of life.”
Fernando Botero
Just spent a fascinating few minutes reading about the history of the American Bison on Wikipedia. Did you know that the only continuously wild bison herd in the U.S. is in Yellowstone? And that they descended from 23 mountain bison that hid out in Pelican Valley during the slaughter of the 1800's? And that far more people are injured or killed by bison than by any other land mammal? Well, there is more to the story but I won't bore with details. I liked this photo because of the beautiful color and texture of the fur - and that the exposure is good and the only edit was a levels adjustment. She looks beautiful standing there in the small amount of snow.
Apologies for my absence - I was on the couch at 5:30 last night, worn out from trying to do too much, and will try to get caught up later today.
Happy Wednesday!
A couple of young bison bulls in the Dogwood Canyon herd enjoy an evening drink. Lampe, MO. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
A bull in his prime. Livin' is easy for bison in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. They have no predators and there is plenty of pasture this year. This guy's daily activity, when it's not breeding season, involves two-hour periods of grazing, resting and cud chewing, then moving to a new location to repeat the process. Punctuated with a few drinks of cool water. Not a bad life.
A young American bison bull in a herd of fifteen or so. Bison tend to herd with like bison. The cows and calves herd together, the immature bulls together and the mature bulls in small groups or they just remain solitary.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Here you can see a bison finding a way to scratch his head. You can see the marks on the tree where many of his brothers have been doing the same. As always many thanks to all who view and fav my work. And a special thanks to all who comment. You can see that he seems to have his entire winter coat.
