“Hold Me, He’s Back”

They are comical for sure! Prairie Dogs live in large towns, safety in numbers. Their social structure is complex, with some having specific duties. The Pickets are essential to the town, warning when danger comes. When they sound the alarm, they scatter and take cover underground. Photographers are at first are a threat, sending the dogs running. One way to get photographs with these, at first, shy critters, is shooting from the vehicle. Another, and my preferred, is to plant. It’s real simple, the less you move, the more you shoot. The last thing you want is, hold me, he’s back!
