The Herd and Happy New Year

I spotted the large antelope herd on my way out of our valley yesterday morning.
I haven't seen them for awhile. 
They were crossing the road in front of me and heading into the neighbors fields.
This group turned in front of me and headed back towards the desert.
I had to roll down the car window and zoom in with my camera to get a few photos.
All of the snow that we got earlier this month is now melted and we are back to our usual winter brown.
The herd adds beauty to our valley! 

 In the top photo the herd is on the run.
In the bottom photo, some of them were brave enough to stop to see what I was doing.

Wishing everyone a Very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! 
Happy, Happy New Year!

How wonderful that you get to experience the wonders of nature in all it's glory. I always get excited when I see a herd of deer.
