do you think who ever named the island mistook the buffalo for antelope? looks chilly but beautiful with the sunshine. Is it near you? thanks for stopping again Kate! I hope you grabbed a piece of wombie cake ;) Faythe @ GMT
You captured the solace and desserted-ness of that place so well. It's eerie to go out there and see the City so clearly and yet be so set apart from it.
My Husband and son were out there last weekend. Incredible!
Oh Kate! What gorgeous pictures. It is so beautiful there. Your pictures pick up the look of the vastness of the land on the island. That is strange that there are no Antelope, only Buffalo.
I took my kids camping there once after a pioneer stint, thinking it would be the perfect place to set the theme of 1850. We woke up coated with eight inches of unpredicted snow the next morning! I told them I'd take them to McDonald's if they'd put away the tent and the sleeping bags (because they didn't want to get out of their sleeping bags), and I've never seen everything fly back into the car so quickly! (We'd had only pioneer-type food for eight days, so McDonald's was the best bribe in the world.)

ReplyDeleteSimply stunning. The first one in particular captured s the feel of the place.So glad I dropped by.
ReplyDeleteThat top photo is great! Looks like a wonderful place for a visit!
ReplyDeleteOK, there's no fooling me! That thing is not an antelope!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate, What amazing landscapes! I like the contrast of the golden fields and the cool blue skies. The wide vistas make to view seem endless.

ReplyDeleteGreat photography. I love the first picture. It's very dramatic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip about Golden Delicious being a good polinator!

ReplyDeleteI do wonder how they got the name of the island....
So beautiful, even without the antelope! I'd be thrilled to see the buffalo roaming free.
