Visiting Shaggy Beast

dougb.72572 1951 (Ontario)

Free verse
He is huge!

My unit on tripod

Long hike

To get here from the van.

No fixed plan.

See what today brings.

Wildflowers

Hawks above.

Beautiful things.



But that bison

On the ridge

Takes the cake.

Documentary make.

If lucky.

Little gopher nearby

Quite plucky.
