Happy Calves

As Mark's photo also shows, May is a joyful month for bison calves. Those two were just having fun running around their mothers'. The image was taken last year in Yellowstone.

Canon 5D3, EF 400 mm F/5.6
1/1500s, F/5.6, ISO 3200, Cropped to 75% of original

Cheers,

Hisham.

Yep, Hisham, the young Bison sure do seem to have a ton of fun.  A fine catch here with both calves in the air and great colors.  I also get a kick out of the kinked tails.

Very cool Hisham.  I like the inclusion of both calves.

There are very few things more joyful than young, innocent animals discovering their motor skills and loving their new life!  The smile on the foreground calf really accents the theme cool  Great capture, Hisham!
