Mt. Scott

After checking out all the wildlife, I took a drive up Mt. Scott. Which was pretty cool, I never really thought of Oklahoma as having mountains, but they do. The clouds were coming in and the wind was blowing hard on top of the 2,464 ft peak, which is the third highest in OK. It has some beautiful red granite boulders that I tried to use to frame the last two photos, which I did one in color and one in Black and white. I'm not sure which one I like better. Luckily I was able to finish taken photos just before the rain let loose.

Wichita Mountian Wildlife Refuge

This past week, I was working in Midwest City right outside of Oklahoma City. As usual I brought my camera, but didn't think I was going to get to find much interesting to photo. Well I had a down day on Wednesday while my soil samples were on their way to the lab. So I did some searching on Google and Google earth, which brought me to the Wichita Mountains wildlife refuge.
It was a little over an hour outside of Oklahoma city, and boy was i glad I made the trip. It was really cool driving down the road and seeing bison just roaming free. Some were in large herds like the two younger ones in the second photo, and others were just on their own. It was great to get out of the city and find these guys to watch.

Another cool stop in the refuge was called Prairie Dog Town. There were so many prairie dogs there. It was cool watching them run around and look for food and pick on each other. They didn't seem to be bothered by people to much, however one in the bottom photo didn't care to have his photo taken.
