When you live on the prairie, there are a variety of guests that show up at your door. Those guests include, birds, bunnies, racoons, snakes, toads, etc.
Some are more welcome than others.
Perimeter fences are built around the houses and out buildings, keeping the larger animals out.
My studio however, is tucked into the hillside of a thousand acre pasture, without a fence around it. A couple of weeks ago the Buffalo were moved into this pasture and during this time they have paid me several visits. They are very curious animals when not threatened and have an escape route. I've been videoing some of my experiences to share with you, and I hope you enjoy the buffalo visits as much as I did.
And, no, it never gets old.
P.S.: Make sure you watch to the end, as a baby fawn makes its first video debut!

Wonderful video!
So drawn in by the natural beauty of sights and sounds. Burst out laughing when you told the Buffalo not to eat your flowers and it looked up like like it was caught, and turned and ran away.
Keep doing the good work. I hope you all stay safe from the draught and fires.
Native blood runs through my veins.
The work that you are doing brings me great joy -
My heart connects instantly with those who ran with the wild and had the courage to face these awesome creatures.
With those who preserved the balance of native grounds – while preserving their own tribe…..
the grounds on which we once walked – is captured in your video
My core feels the thunder of their hooves on the earth – I smell the prairie and feel their wind
I am far from my native land.
Thank you for the beautiful reminder that it is not man who beautifies the earth –
it is beautified by the beasts of the field –
It is only they who live by the god given laws of nature and so , by these cycles, humans are blessed.
Delightful!
Awesome and beautiful beings! Loved the video.
Thanks for sharing, Jill. I never realized they are so timid for such large animals. I guess they don’t realize their size.
Absolutely fantastic Jill! Thank you for sharing such an amazing and impressive video. We couldn’t agree with you more…it would never get old.
Thank you for sharing, so cool. Did I see a small buffalo jump up onto the hood of your vehicle, or did it just look that way? The fawn bounding by at the end of the video was fun too.
