Jay, your Caesars Palace image is beautiful.  I'll use the words you once put on a shot I took of a British Air 747 landing in Phoenix, "The CEO would be honored to have this photo hanging in his office".  Wow!

Bill, I tried this once just a little ways north of Rachel Nevada.  The mares all ran away as soon as the camera came out, and the stallion tried to kill me.  Glad the car was close by.  This is a very nice capture of wild animals in their environment.  Super!

Thanks Jay.  Appreciated.

Thanks Vance.  You do have to keep an eye out, if you get too close to a little one, they get protective and will come to their protection.  So I keep an eye for a tree or brush where I could run to quickly if one of the big guys decides I'm an untolerable intruder.

Going looking for the wildlife gets me out for a little exercise, and occasionally see some cool stuff.  This same day I saw 4 Bald Eagles, 1 Golden Eagle, a coyote, and a total of 18 different horses in three groups.  Two of the Bald Eagles are Eaglets, not yet having taken their first flight, but getting close to jumping.  Unfortunately I needed about 3-4x more lens length for the Eagles, so the shots I got show Eagles, but are crappy photos.  One day I can hopefully catch the Eagles take a nice slow soaring path low down right above the water.  I thought they might this time as the water level is so low there are hundreds of good sized fish right at the surface.

The shot of the horses fighting was very nice.  We have maintained the Western Motif in our Virginia house and this photo would fit right in.  Thanks for sharing your shots.

I like the way this guy thinks.

Beautiful shot Matt.  The Canyon is such a beautiful sight to see in any season at any time.

Thanks Vance!  I agree, but I always love it with some snow.
