today you find high mountain desert and dry #grassland in this part of wyoming many of the animal and plant groups that once lived here are now only found near the equator

They lie down a road seldom traveled, but it's perhaps the most beautiful grassland in the world: the Palouse Hills. When the fields bloom and the long, warm days of summer hit them just right, it does something for the soul...

"Rolling Dreams", captured by yours truly.

I almost never use black and white for photos, and I am not sure I can say why I prefer it here- maybe it's about the stillness between these two, in an otherwise frenetic environment. The elephants are almost always on the move, especially in the dry season, when the days are spent foraging and travelling to watering holes to drink and bathe. There is a safety risk to cuddle time, and the hugs don't last as long as this little guy would like. But, I'd say they are making the most of it. #Hwange #Zimbabwe #zebra #savannah #conservation #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #natur #wildlife #natgeo #wildlifeconservation #ethicalwildlifephotography #natgeonature #natgeotravel #animalplanet #ecosystem #grassland #wildplanet #wildanimals #elphant #africanelephant #animalbabies #animalfamilies

Two #PrairieDog heads, one #Burrow mound, zero drama.
Sunlit #Grassland watch duty near #Denver #Colorado.
A quick pop up, a snack pause, then back to the entrance.

Who else loves these tiny sentries?
