had the pleasure of meeting this big guy on two consecutive mornings on my trip out west. Dunno why he was there or really how he managed to get himself so far out into the open prairie. These shot near Laramie , Wy.
John:
What a great series... loved every one of these, but that last shot is wonderful. ...Love the mountains in the background, but then I am very partial to mountains.
This is a super series! What a great specimen!; and you have presented a complete study of him in all his different poses. I love number 1 for posing him in the golden-green grass of the prairie, no 2 for the use of silhouette, no 3 and 4 for the opposite poses; and no 5 for that most regal pose and posture, in front of the distant mountains. Beautiful, and a treat to view.
relaxing in the sun, makes me jealous 
Thanks for sharing.
