There Are Antelopes on Antelope Island




It was snowing all night again and next morning I went to Antelope Island to take pictures.  To my surprise there wasn't any sign of snow.  The weather was warm and nice.  






I was so thrilled when I saw antelopes for the first time on Antelope Island.  


I was leaving the island and suddenly  noticed the antelopes.  I stopped the car, changed my lens and began to move slowly toward them  and then heard an angry voice behind my back,  "Stay on the road! "  It was a state security guy.  


That was a disappointment.  Of course, I am not sure how close  the antelopes would let me approach them.






That was such a joy to watch these beautiful and graceful animals.  Yes, there are antelopes on the Antelope Island.

  5. Atemberaubend schöne Bilder und das Zusammentreffen mit den Antilopen, wie wundervoll!! Ich kann deine Freude über ihr Erscheinen so gut nachvollziehen. Die Bilder sind so traumhaft und strahlen eine derartige Atmosphäre aus, dass mir richtig das Herz weh tut, vor lauter Schönheit. Was für ein grandioses Fleckchen Erde hast du dort entdeckt und wie dankbar bin, dass diese beeindruckenden Impressionen mit uns teilst.

    ich danke dir und kann dich für diese Fotoergebnisse nur beglückwünschen. Super!!!

    ganz liebe Grüße und eine herzliche, wenn auch nur virtuelle Umarmung,

  6. Beautifully done, Kaya. Awesome photos. Is Antelope Island a park? It sounds like it may be if there is a warden enforcing the rules. We have Antelope here in southern Alberta as well. They are a beautiful animal.

  10. Horst, Antelope Island is a state park. It is very deserted and there are wild life there but it is very nicely preserved and taken care of.

  16. Very beautiful antelope that you've photographed. They seem so calm in their environment. Must be very nice to you can see them at home.
    Landscapes of the first and last photo are gorgeous. Several months have passed since I have not reached the mountains. I miss to walk their paths again. Just waiting to warm weather.
    Warm hugs from Carmen
