Pronghorn of Bryce Canyon Utah
.
I have another photo of pronghorns on Flora and Fauna, from when Man and I were visiting the Carlsbad New Mexico area. They were in a zoo-like setting. We caught this one in the wild at Bryce Canyon National Park in early May 2011. Note he/she has just about shed the winter coat, except for one strand hanging (dark in color). I could not determine from some internet research if this was a male or female. Pronghorns are considered to be the first or second fastest land mammal in the Western Hemisphere.

Wing - Like
.
These leaves (or flowers?) from last year's growth on this unknown plant remind me of wings. Taken in Moab Utah area in late April 2011.

Yellow Spikes
.
Photographed around Moab Utah, at the end of April, 2011. And, yes, caught another critter, a bee this time.
Don't ever think there is not life in the desert.

Peaking Through The Rubber Rabitbrush
.
Otherwise known as the chrysothamnus nauseosus, this photo was taken on our ride into Canyonlands National Park, Needles District. I was drawn to the dried winter versions of plants in the desert, trying time and time again to get a photo that showed what I felt was beauty, dried, but beauty.
I decided I liked this photo, that it had promise, loaded it into the photo editor, started cropping, re-sizing, a little contrast and brightness, when I discovered a little surprise, a critter in the top right of the photo. Gotta say, it is a VERY good thing I did not see it while I was taking the photo, as I am NO fan of bugs, especially those that look like they might jump or fly at me in a heartbeat, they tend to make my heart beat stop!
