Where the dog and the antelope play

Deer_2 We have seen a LOT of pronghorn antelope in the back pasture this year. They won’t let me get close enough to get a picture I am satisfied with but I wanted to share these anyway.

They say the antelope is one the fastest mammals alive. I am pretty certain the Bearded Collie dog is right behind them because Wally can go from the back door to the back 40 in about five seconds. I couldn’t tell you how what that translates into in per hour speeds but in practical terms it means now you see antelope, now you don’t. Or, if Wally sees the antelope before you do, don’t bother looking for the camera. ; ) The first pics are taken out back. The bottom pic is from a nature site so you can see what they look like close up.

  1. Wow, as much as I love the photos of the antelope, I am amazed that that is your…gulp…backyard! It is enormous! What fun! For all the time that I have known you, I guess I didn’t take the “Ranch” part of Starry Sky Ranch seriously. Silly me! πŸ™‚

  2. Found you through Organizing Junkie’s blog, and since we look at the same mountains everyday(only I’m a bit closer!), I thought I should say hello.
    And I’m going to take a few of your book recommendations. Thanks!
