Taken during the fall, a cow Musk Ox walks past the photographer. Taken near Franklin Bluffs on the Sagavanirktok River, (Sag River for short), the sun was setting given a golden hue on the already yellow tundra.
There are lots of Musk Lorikeets in the Gum Trees near Daniel and Sarah's school at the moment. This one paused for a moment for me.
Will catch up as soon as I can.
This was the closest photo of the passing musk ox calf that walked right by the photographer.
The entire time it walked by, it kept its eyes focused on the strange creature with the black object making clicking sounds.
I took a ride again today. I spotted a small herd of musk oxen but I had spooked them with the sound of my ATV engine. I left the area for a while and then circled back around to the last spot I had seen them. I was down wind and going a slow steady pace to keep the engine from spooking them again. I rounded a hill and was as surprised to find the herd as they were to see me. They didn't run off right away; allowing me time to dismount the machine and get some good shots. This is one of my favourite times of the year in the north. The abundance of life is pretty spectacular and one never knows what one might find out here this time of the year.
