    Four Pronghorn

    I saw these four Pronghorn - Atilocapra Americana - in Kaibab National Forest just a few miles from the south gate of Grand Canyon National Park. Coconino County, Arizona. I took the photo from the driver's seat of a safari truck I drove as a tour guide as we traversed 16 miles of dirt roads to see wildlife and then head for the edge of the Grand Canyon for sunset. It was a fun gig.

    Bobcat at River's Edge

    This Bobcat was crouched down on the Mohave County Arizona side of the Colorado River below Topock Gorge in the Lower Colorado River Valley. I was floating by in my kayak and did a "double-take" when I first caught sight of it and, then paddled back upstream to float by again for this photo. I loved seeing it! What a wonderful surprise!

    My wife and I hid behind a blind near a watering hole in Kaibab National Forest one evening. Before long these elk showed up to drink. It was nearing sunset, hence the back lighting. We called it our "blind date".

    I think this lizard looks proud :) He's in the Pima Wash Rock Garden in Lake Havasu City (my creation) where the lizard population has expanded by improving habitat.
