Ranch Photography
2018 Latest Arrivals
This past week our first calves arrived on the Cheyenne River Ranch! It is always such an exciting time. A time that is full of hope and possibilities, making one believe that our mission of prairie regeneration can continue to grow.
Buffalo Winter
The prairie winter continues. Here are a few winter Buffalo images, along with other photos on the ranch.
The Autumn Shift
Scenes from around the ranch during the autumn shift.
Prairie Grassland Birds
Bird watching is a favorite pastime on the ranch, not just for those that live here, but also for those that visit. The old cottonwoods that canopy the house are perfect for nest builders and cavity dwellers.
A Mother's Day Parade
There wouldn't be a Mother's Day without babies and there are a lot of new babies at the ranch. Here are some snapshots of the latest regenerators of the prairie. Adorable, golden balls of fur, with faces that not only a mother could love, but anyone. Happy Mother's Day to all the nurturing mother's of the world!
The Making of a Food Photo
A couple of months ago a friend had forwarded an article from one of his advertising buddies on food photography on to me. It included a video on the making of a McDonalds hamburger, which was about why the burger you buy doesn’t look like the one in the marketing photos.
Regeneration
Crawling on my stomach through the grass, concentrating only on keeping my presence unknown and not damaging my Nikon camera, I temporarily forgot about my fear of snakes. It was a misty South Dakota morning and the sun had just started to push through the washed-out prairie sky.
Winter River Crossing
Dan & I returned home just before midnight this last Thursday from a Patagonia book tour in California. We were greeted with a cold, still night and a black sky filled with stars. We awoke the next morning to a snow-covered prairie, the first snowfall of the year.
