Custer, South Dakota

Yesterday we woke up at 5am to watch the sunrise at the Grand Canyon. Beautiful, but freezing and impossible to photograph. So instead we decided to nap back at the motel and return later on, and along the way we ran into these majestic creatures. I hopped out of the car and experimented with impromptu wildlife photography. It seems to be a delicate balance between quietly creeping, while trying to avoid getting stomped out.
