Hardy

Bison. 600mm, handheld, 1/400 @ f8, ISO 800

Locally, February 2019 was jokingly referred to as the blizzard month as huge snowstorms pummeled the region after what had been a fairly mild winter. Surprisingly, as I go through images from that month, I did pretty well photographically. And before you feel bad for this bison, the snow sticking to it’s coat is a sign that the animal is healthy and relatively warm as it is not losing any body heat. It was snowing so hard that these animals were covered completely in a few minutes. Every so often, they’d stand up, shake off the snow, and then hunker back down against the storm. Bison are indeed hardy animals.
