Camatta Ranch, Bison Dawn

I have loved watching these enormous animals from the road for the last 20 years, as I was on my way to the Carrizo Plain. In recent years I've been able to see them from the other side of things, from on the ranch, rather than from the road. This spring I was on an overnight and witnessed the herd coming down the hill to the water troughs as the sun was just rising. Oh, what a wonderful sight. I am thrilled to have put it to canvas, especially with the young calves and their mothers, and the big bull as well.
