Driving down a quiet farm-to-market road in West Texas yesterday, I came upon this very large and strange antelope that I could not identify behind a very tall fence. It is a Sable antelope, native to Africa.

#Photography #Nature #Outdoors #Wildlife #Nikon
A sable antelope stands alert in a scrubby field, framed by cactus pads and dense green brush. Its glossy black coat contrasts with a white facial blaze and belly, and two long, ringed horns rise straight up. Soft evening light warms the scene as the animal looks directly at the camera, a small ear tag visible on one ear.

Close-up of weathered tree bark with deep grooves and swirling knots, showing layered gray-brown wood grain and rough, fibrous textures; irregular ridges cast soft shadows, creating a natural, abstract pattern.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Last night's sunset here in West Texas was a nice reminder of all the things I am grateful for.

Low sun blazes over a dark, tree-lined horizon, washing the sky in deep gold and orange as heat-hazy light softens the distant rolling hills.

The remarkable contrast of an early season dusting of snow on bare branches as the autumn colors fade away.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Nikon #CaptureOne
Snow-dusted hillsides covered in leafless, reddish-brown shrubs rise to a ridgeline of evergreen pines frosted white under a pale, overcast sky; a few tall, bare trunks stand in the valley, adding stark vertical lines to the muted winter landscape.

It is astonishing what you can find when you get out and explore your local area.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #NewMexico #Nikon #CaptureOne #Affinity #Dehancer #Arch
A natural sandstone arch rises from a scrubby, snow-dusted desert plateau, its smooth tan span curving over juniper and sage. Early morning light warms the rock while blue shadows pool beneath it. Low mesas and a dark, patchy forested ridge stretch into the distance under a pale blue sky.

The late autumn colors of the cottonwood trees along the Animas River were a sight to behold this year.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Fallorado #Woodland #Trees #Nikon #CaptureOne #Cottonwood #AutumnLeaves #AutumnVibes #FallColors
Tall cottonwood trees blaze with golden-orange fall leaves above a dense tangle of dark, leafless shrubs along a rocky riverbank; white-capped water rushes past rounded boulders in the foreground, with a pale stone hillside and scattered evergreens in the background under soft, cool morning light.

Being able to get above the clouds so close to home this morning was rejuvenating.

I got out Sunday to photograph muted late autumn colors in the light rain. I made this image just moments before a lightning strike came out of nowhere and almost made me have to change my underwear. 😅

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Trees #Colorado #Nikon #TreeTuesday
Tangle of bare, twisting tree branches dotted with curled orange-brown leaves, centered on a dense cluster of brighter autumn foliage; soft, muted forest background out of focus, giving a moody late-fall feel.
