Today is my last post of the year and with that I leave you with one of the most graceful creatures on earth, the pronghorn antelope.
As for next year, I wish everyone a happy, prosperous, and inspirational 2012!

Today brings my first wildlife photograph from my recent excursion to South Dakota. I have found that Pronghorns range anywhere from the very timid to the bold. While traveling out of Custer State Park and into Wind Cave National Park I briefly glimpsed the head of this guy resting on a hill. I quietly crept up slowly taking shoots and careful not to disturb this creature. He stood up, aware of my presence, but apparently not too troubled. I was able to capture this shot and then I quietly left. He never ran, but sat right back down again. Perhaps, an example of being too acclimated to humans.
