This was a rutting pronghorn we ran into this morning. I thought he was bigger than he was but he was active and photogenic.

The best landscape shot of the trip happened when I was coming home. Anyone in eastern WA can attest to the amazing sunset we got tonight. I was in Ritzville when I got this shot with about 400mm of lens. I don't shoot landscape shots with a telephoto but this required it. I didn't even notice the wind towers until I downloaded the shot onto my computer. Not one adjustment made to this photo other than a light sharpen. Truly an amazing sunset.

More to come from Tom and I...

It can be seen literally from space. Awesome, you were in the right place at the right time. In fact if you had been a little earlier you would have been forced to stay in Spokane as I-90 was shut down for 18 hours...

Can't wait to see your excellent pictures (as usual).

Here is the reason why you got that fantastic view/sunset:

That NASA photo is very cool. The detail is extraordinary.

We ran into some ruffed grouse. Tom was really excited and we shot them for a while. It was a good opportunity.

We were driving down the road and a couple of cars were stopped. They said there was a moose. Then one ran across the road and I gave chase. I ran after this guy and he wouldn't stop. I decided to give out a cow estrus sound and he stopped. Huffing and puffing I took a couple quick pictures.

We ran into a nice griz on Dunraven pass. They were eating frantically trying to fatten up for the winter hibernation. We had this guy at about 20 yards for about 45 minutes.

We'll post shots in here as we get them downloaded and as time permits. I was only half way through my Canada shots and now I got more work to do... :bash:
Oh, boy - I've got to get to work on these! I'm still not done with my Colorado pics. Hopefully I'll get to my Y-stone pics soon and get some posted up here.
Great snow in that Pronghorn image, Shawn. I'm glad you knew where to find 'em.

What about this black bear? Seems to be a decent one...

Here are a few of the elk pics, along with a snow-covered blackie we saw up on Dunraven.
I'll get more posted here when I get thru the Griz & Grouse pics.

That snowy black is awesome Tom!

Tom, we want you processing photos 24/7. No excuses. :chuckle:
So sorry 'bout the extreme delay in getting more pics posted here. I know you said "no excuses", but I have one anyway. I had some extreme computer issues with my photo software, and wasn't able to get things all straightened out until yesterday. Enough about the excuses - now here are some more pics from the trip:
