An Ancient Guardian Watching Over the Water

 

There has always been a quiet magic in this tree, something that draws you closer, as if asking you to pause for a moment. I’m certain it carries countless untold stories within its silence, though it seems unwilling to share them with anyone.

Causey Reservoir in October

Causey Reservoir has been and always will be is my escape from reality, a place that feels like another planet. 

The Wasatch Mountains rise, the air is crisp, a gentle breeze whispers through the pine trees and the only sounds are the calls of birds or the soft ripples of water.

On The Country Roads. Horses

 

Horses are beautiful and strong animals and every opportunity to be near them, talk to them is a real gift.

Trees in Winter - I

 

I found these trees interesting; they were standing in the line, like soldiers on duty.

Life of Bisons on Antelope Island - I.

 

The young bisons have grown quite a bit and their coat color has changed from orange-red to dark brown. They are now teenagers  but still remain close to their mothers and follow them everywhere. 

 

Something happened to one this female bison's horns.  Did she broke it or was she born this way?

Bison family.  

The female bison leads the procession.  The young calf follows his parents, trying to stay close.

Family portrait.  

As you can see, the female bison is in the middle.  She has more curvy horns and smaller in size than the bull.  Their young calf stays closer to his mother who will protect him until he grows up.

The mood of bison can be judged by its tail: when it's down and switches naturally, the bison is usually calm.  If the tail is standing straight up, watch out!
