A few friends I met along the way

I just got back from a trip up to the Palouse, then back through Idaho, Montana and Uah. Made a few friends! I've bit the bullet and purchased Topaz Sharpen, so some of these have the advantage of that application. I was particularly excited about the moose. I've seldom seen them in the wild, and never close enough for pictures. I kept my distance so as to not stress them, but they seemed to get over my presence as long as there was food to eat.

Super-enjoyable series, Kathy. I cannot imagine the shock of seeing moose in open farm country like that!

It was a brake-slamming, throw it in reverse moment! I saw them as a brown blur in my peripheral vision and had to find out what that big brown blob was! Thanks, Linda.

Cool series, always good to make new friends. Moose? I would have never have expected them there.

Nor did I! I was shocked! I talked later with a fellow from north of that region, and he said they were moving into that region, probably because of the abundance of food available. I'm not sure the farmers would be happy about that. I know how I feel about deer in my cornfields!

Great series of critters. Loved the free-running wild horses in the first image. How do you know the horses in the last picture aren't wild. BLM has 45K from roundups in captivity in several western states.

Thanks for looking in. The herd paid me no mind at all. Wild horses will normally react to a person, even at that distance.

Excellent set, Katy! Did you enjoy the Palouse? My trip there last year was the photographic highlight of my year.

Thanks for answering. I guess you would know, they're in your back yard. I only read about them. We've got horses here in Ohio and I've been following the wild horse situation for years. It's a sad situation to pen them up.
