You Can't Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd

 
I realised that as I was looking back through our photos from our trip home from the Yukon that I had not shown you the pictures I had taken of the Buffalo herd along the way.


These Buffalo are located between Watson Lake, Yukon and Liard Hotsprings, BC.
Aren't they just gorgeous creatures?
 
 
We encounter them every time we make this trip.
They are so amazing, I never tire of them!
 
 
Many times in the past we have had to drive around them with our car, as they were right in the road.
But they were all lazing around this trip.
I guess we caught them at their nap time.
I wish I had taken the time to count how many we were passing, but a certain fellow was driving so fast at times they were sometimes just a blur...
 
Every time I see the Buffalo now I remember what a very wise man once told me.
 
And it is this:
 
I think we'd all be wise to take heed to this very wise man's advice!
Don't you?

I am off to visit some of the grandchildren for the next few days so expect lots of brag photos in the next few post.
 
Also, I wanted to share two more blog parties were they were sweet enough to feature my Budget Decor Porch.
 
I'm calling it the porch that just keeps giving and giving!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Have a good week, my friends!

  6. Have a nice time visiting. I really like your Buffalo pictures. I think I would like to see them living like that rather the way I have seen them before. They look much healthier.

  7. We were good friends with Roger Miller's Mother. Her name was Laudene (Miller) Burdine. We got to go with her to a Roger Miller concert in Fort Worth one time and got to go backstage and see him and his wife. So... it was good to see this post and her Roger sing, "Can't rollerskate in a buffalo herd". :-)

  10. Hope you enjoy your time with your grandchildren... I'm sure you will.

    Love seeing the Buffalo. We saw lots of them in Yellowstone --and they loved blocking the road so that we have to WAIT to get through...

    Hugs,

  16. Excellent photos! They are magnificent to see. I saw them at Yellowstone National Park and they make quite an impression! They seem to be far less impressed with us looking at them however! Have fun with the grands!

  19. Kimberly,

    These Bison are gorgeous, they look so soft with all that hair/fur. And when you compare them to the ones here, they looks so much healthier.

  21. I love seeing buffalo in the wild. I have never seen them in the wild in Canada, though. Lucky you to see them! I have seen them in the Black Hills and Yellowstone.
    Good advise from the wise old gent!
