Thanks for stopping,

This place is south of my town, out in the middle of nowhere, kinda like everything else... Oklahoma's name was based on Choctaw Indian words for "red man". Even the land here is red. Hince the name red dirt country, and the origin for the name for country music.
You can definitely tell winter is setting in. The color change isn't real dramatic here. We don't have all the pretty oranges, reds, and yellows, we go from green to brown. I suppose sometimes we are blessed with a little color, but nothing compared to the east coast, thats for sure!
I know this picture looks like all the others, there are so many of these out here, but they all have a beauty to them. Almost a lonely feeling.
The greatest thing to experience here, is an awesome sunset. The colors can be outstanding!

Unfortunately I am learning that the hard way. It is a perfect camera for me at home, and those close ups of my family, but those long range shots is where it gets me. I highly reccomend it for those needing a good family camera. It's a 3.2 megapixle, but until you go to take those long shots, you'd never know it. The pictures are clear and crisp. It has gotten me through a year of scrapbooking.
But be ready to pay a pretty penny for it, it retails for over twelve hundred doallars with the zoom lens package. So this country girl is saving her pennies.
Back to today's post, we took a trip this past weekend to go look at some Elk, Camels, and zebras at a private property. The zebra was toooo far to even try to take a picture, but the camel and elk were 'do-able'. I snapped over 30 pictures, and the following were the only ones that were even presentable. I think I may have a temporary cure for my blur problem, I have ordered a very nice tripod, expandable from 24 inches to 62 inches. I feel maybe then I can get a clearer steady shot. Still won't help much with those action, distant, shots, but for now, this is all I have. Thanks for looking, have a great day!

This guy was pretty far off the road, so I am more than happy with this shot. I had my camera zoomed almost as far as it would go. Hunter couldn't believe we have camels in Western Oklahoma.
Here is a group shot of the elk all enjoying the warm sun. Shannell said that there was more than that, but we couldn't find them. Hunter really enjoyed these guys, dreaming of hunting! lol!
This big guy was over on the other side, so we were able to get closer, but because of my unsteady hand, the picture is still alittle blurry. Their racks are huge!
Where this fellow came from, we don't have a clue. But all the sudden there he was, checking us out.| posted by Shannon, 6:48 AM | 0 comments |
