Description
It's been over a week since I last posted something. Been out of town and also working on some photomanips for a contest.
This morning I went out early to shoot some buffalo at a nearby buffalo ranch. I didn't get any great shots ..they were kind of far away..I also found this neat cafe that had a ton of various kinds of birds all around it. So naturally I pulled out my trusty and went crazy..During my shoot, I heard the gobling of some turkeys. They came right up to me for some close ups, but when I tried to leave they went after me..trying to peck me in places no one should get pecked...I then pick up a garden hose that was laying there which scared off the turkeys..No I didn't hit or skirt them. I quickly left the area..lol...I guess they were trying to get even for Thanksgiving...lol..
The hand pic was really weird. It was laying in a dirt road next to the buffalo ranch..it's a manikins hand..not real...
EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND
ENJOY TODAY

Fantastic montage!! A complete trip and experience in one image!! I love the windmill POV!! The buffalo and the wild turkeys! Awesome stuff Ray!!!
One week without you, it's too long ;o)))))) But for working for a contest... you could let us alone ! Lol ! Hey Bufalo Bill, let these turkeys living in peace, and don't think to the next Thanksgiving please !!!!! The big bufalo is wonderful, and all his little friends to of course. Superb collage of your "hunt" of today Ray ! and all the animals of the farm are here. But what's about this hand ????? Have a wonderful week-end my friend, and a big Hug !
I was wondering where you were. lol. Where is this buffalo ranch. I have been looking for one and never came across one. LOL.It looks from the mountains that it must be down 1-40 near Galisteo ?? It is fun to guess.. I have only lived here for um, 14 years. lol. I would love to know where it is, if you dont mind. Did you go to the Cafe on 1-14 for the peacocks etc ? I cannot remember the cafe name but it is a place people love to go. Great desserts !! Little know fact : It is Robert Redford's favorite restaurant here. lol. Didnt I just make your day. It is so much fun to view your images because it is like seeing my home state through someone else's eyes. Great fun. You collage of photos certainly gives people a sense of New Mexico. Excellent work !!
So the buffalo bombed, and still you came away with a full bag of game. Way to go!
So many lovely photos! It woths waiting for your lovely work!! The photos all excellent but I really enjoy the pony!!
'Was wondering where you've been... 'Lovely collage and story here.. thankies... :=)
he, he...this is what a call a wilde trip; I bet that you've made hundreds of pics...thank you for the inside news.
Very cool shots of domestic animals. That bison looks mighty tasty!! Yum! Sorry to hear about the turkeys trying to peck you in personal ways. There's bound to be a "pecker" joke in there somewhere, but I'll leave that to someone with a better imagination.
I like them all. I like the bison one too. I kown it not up to par because it was to far away but I like the pose it have
good productive day :-))
Superb collage of this slice of life!!!Not usual for us (french) to see that! Except bisons ,naturally,(lol)!!!!
