With ‘his’ long legs seeming to go every direction except the direction he was running.<\/p>\n

On one of my Montana camping trips I found a pair of pronghorn fawns frolicking near a fence line with their mother some distance away. It was fairly late in the morning so the light was beginning to get harsh and I knew I’d have difficulty getting catch lights in their eyes but I simply can’t resist pronghorn fawns, no matter the time of day.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, for no reason I could discern, one of the fawns began running full tilt toward his mother.<\/p>\n

At this age young pronghorn fawns seem to be all legs and each of his appeared to have a mind of its own.<\/p>\n

His left front leg is pointing straight down with its foot touching the ground but the other three look to be going every which way. It was a pretty good distance to his mother so I got quite a few photos of him running and I remember thinking at the time there’s no way he isn’t going to crash and burn with him going lickety-split and his very long legs so out of control.<\/p>\n

But he didn’t and mama seemed relieved. The photographer definitely was.<\/p>\n
