So I'm walking along pulling my wagon and I come upon this strange, cool little prairie art gallery out in the middle of no where. It's fifteen miles in each direction to the nearest town.

Prairie Falcon
Digiscoped using Nikon D90 camera for a 1000mm reach
Nikon digiscope adapter FSA-L1
Nikon 82mm LD Fieldscope
Nikon wireless shutter release ML-L3
I also carry a Nikon MC-DC2 remote release cord type
The aperture is fixed at f/13 and 1000mm manual focus.
I use a window mount for quite a bit of my digiscoping along with a Manfrotto tripod when required.
For simplicity sake I set the ISO on the Nikon D90 to auto with a 3200 max

We inadvertently chose a new route into North Battleford yesterday - through some fairly remote farmland. At sunset I waited for a roadside subject to shoot, bathed in the last few minutes of prairie light. Once again though, the prairies themselves became the subject of my picture ...

I think these little rascals were prairie dogs that lived in the fields below the Tower, and I managed to get several shots of them, including a couple of videos. If I'm wrong about what they are, please, someone, correct me!
I love this flower but my 'Gardening Partner', not so much so there aren't many in the garden. Next year there will be more! They grow wild here on the prairies and we called them Brown Eyed Susans.

While hiking back from the geocache at the top of Camels Prairie, we started hearing the calls of prairie dogs. They followed us down the hill, making sure we were fully aware that we were intruding on their peacefulness. This one was interesting as it stood out against the sky.
