That is what I told the buffalo I came face to face with. I’m in the car minding my own business. Ok, I was taking pictures. I’m focusing in my zone, I’m aware of nothing but me my camera and the buffalo. Well all of a sudden I can’t focus on this buffalo. I’m thinking why. I look up at this time and not more than three feet away, I see the face of this buffalo. To answer your question. NO I did not take a picture. My mind shut down and said holy crap. The look on the buffalo’s face was you don’t look like me. What led up to this meeting was another buffalo crossing.
This time when we pulled up to see the buffalo they were far enough off that people were standing on the side of the road gawking.
I’m not brave enough for that yet. They can still move quite fast. Today the buffalo were hanging more to the side of the road.



We stopped and ate dinner at Blue Bell before the rain came again and when we left it was starting to get foggy and dark so I almost left my camera put away. Here is another example of following your gut and being reminded by Roy. Camera went on lap. I was treated to one of the big boys rubbing on a tree right next to the road. These boys are older nomads and they usually have a territory they call their own. He was just scenting his.
I love the fact that he ignored me and just enjoyed scratching his itch. I also love the tongue. I know these are a little dark but he was close.




What a great way to end a day of close encounters with the buffalo.




She captures them on camera …. I eat them IRL ….. (yum)
