One reason I love this country: antelope
February 6, 2011
Perhaps to someone who’s grown up around here, pronghorn antelope aren’t that thrilling.
To someone who grew up east of the Mississippi, they are pretty durned cool.
A typical Wyobraska scene: pronghorn antelope and a Union Pacific coal train.
Cuties!

Lopers!
Too true. Familiarity breeds contempt. My dad would point them out as we drove back and forth from Salt Lake City to Casper. Bison, pararie dogs, and deer would get a ho-hum reaction. Bears and mountain lions would mean a call to animal control. Ok, I’ve never seen those last two in the wild, only news reports every year about suburban invasions.
You have a beautiful sense of wonder!
