Pronghorn “Where The Rockies Meet The Plains”

Geraint August 2, 2019 2 Comments

Pronghorn, Ocate, New Mexico, “Where The Rockies Meet The Plains”. Working through some images from yesterday I thought this was a real sweet picture with soft diffuse lighting adding to the gentle look of this Pronghorn. Can’t say I’d like to stand in it’s way when it decides to bolt! It is the fastest land animal in North America, with sustained speeds of 45 mph and top speed just over 60 mph. I know a couple of photographers who can attest to this fact, Paul Malinowski and Linda Duffy. Remember the lone Pronghorn racing the car? Thanks for looking. G

Adobe Dish Network, in the historic hamlet of Ocate, NM. I love coming across a mix of the old and new and there’s plenty of it.  One hundred percent New Mexico. Thanks for looking. G

Highway, Ocate, On The Plains, NM

Highway, Ocate, NM. Big storm lots of rain, green as green can get where the Rockies meet the Plains. It was worth getting wet to be out there with the scent of damp earth, wet grass, and me, and the mullein plant standing sentry, silently, dutifully along both sides of the highway. Thanks for looking. G

Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. A church in this wonderful location in Ocate, New Mexico where the Rockies meet the plains on the eastern slopes of the Sangre de Cristo mountains.
