Pawnee Primrose Sweethearts

View Large on Black

The older gal on right looks like she is carrying a baby, where the one on left looks young to me... maybe following mom around for one more year?

Pronghorns have a gestation period of 235 days (white tail deer are six weeks shorter). They breed in mid-September, and the doe carries her fawn usually until late May (from Wikipedia).

Notes: Be sure you get to check out the 2 shot pano with Dad included that this is part of (see first comment, or my photostream).

These are both wonderful. It reminds me of the trail ride years ago when a friend and I almost rode through the place a mother pronghorn had cached her babies. We were fairly certain that the adult that was watching from about 500 yards was the mother so we quickly vacated the area.

Beautiful shots. One of my favorite animals. My photos of them (on the rare chance I get to see them) always come out kinda ... so-so. These are both great.

Sorry for such reduced visits and commenting, but during the past several days I have hardly been able to get on the Internet and Flickr, and then only for a few minutes, and at such slow speeds. Hence short comments.

Wowee, this is fabulous! Stunning creatures in their gorgeous surroundings. Really well photographed, my friend! Just had a look at the other image, which is quite artfully done. I wouldn't have been able to tell it was two shots combined unless you'd told me.
