The wildlife refuge southwest of Tucson, AZ is virtually unknown to longtime residents of the area. My idea is that the area is more known to hunters, of which there are many in Arizona.
This photo of a pronghorn antelope was taken at about two hundred yards, handheld with a zoom. It was a tough shot to keep focused, but the shape of the antlers was really what I was after.
This picture is a little washed out, but the shape of Baboquivari Mtn stands above the rest of the mountains in the range just west of the wildlife refuge. The story goes that the mountain is the origin of all animals and humans, according to the native-american peoples called, Tohono O'dom. Their reservation covers a large area west of Tucson, stretching far out toward Yuma, AZ., at the border of California. According to legend, the view from directly over the mountain roughly describes the ancient symbol of the Tohono O'dom people, "The Man in the Maze."
