this is a story in pictures. The Wichita's where the buffalo roam free, and yes, we got this close; from the car.
John, Misty and Robert checking out one of the many small lakes hidden in the middle of this wildlife preserve area.
Guess what they are looking at? believe it or not, it is lady bug mating season, and they were doing their thing on the rocks!
John and Robert at the top of Mt. Scott, one of our favorite places.
From the education I got at the visitor center, I declare this to be a longhorn STEER. so here's something you probably don't know; steers, cows and bulls grow their horns differently, with the steers having the widest span. if you want to know more, go check out the visitor center at the Wichita Mountains in Oklahoma.
one of several dam areas within the reserve. water levels seemed to be in pretty good condition in spite of recent drought.
My dear friend Misty Burdette just taking a break and enjoying the beauty at the top of the mountain. Misty is an avid nature photographer; bet she took 100 pictures today.
Robert commented on the serenity near the small lakes in the reserve. below is what he was seeing!
Ponies were our mode of travel today, well Mustangs anyway. There were supposed to be three, but our friends Jim and Darla had to cancel out. Theirs is red and a convertible!
view of the lake from the top of the mountain. We drove on around that lake and over to Medicine Park after a stop for our favorite burgers and cobbler at the Meers store. Check past posts for more on that place!
saw this coming around the corner and had hopes Jim and Darla had decided to show up after all, but it was the wrong color! visited briefly with them and they were enjoying the beauty of the Wichita's as much as we were.
