Oh! Pronghorn!

We were in Chino Valley the other day where Eeyore is helping our son with a remodeling project. On the way home we spotted this herd of Pronghorn grazing in the mile wide strip between the road we were on and the highway where Chino businesses are located.
It didn't bother them a bit when we stopped to take their photos
lit by the glow of the the slanted evening sun's rays.

This little buck posed quite nicely for me.

We counted twenty-two. The local herds of Pronghorn have become greatly reduced as their territory is overtaken by subdivisions or they are relocated. Here's an interesting article at the local blog Read it Here. There are a couple of great pictures there too. General information about Pronghorn can be found here in Wikipedia.

coolly presiding over the sun and shadow earth below.

Just for the fun of it, I zoomed on this "Children's Moon"
