The Gifts of Spring - Bison herd grazing by wildlife artist Bonnie Marris

The Gifts of Spring by Bonnie Marris.

 

In this image, Marris brings us "The Gifts of Spring", that fleeting time when newly born calves wobble on untried legs, sunshine abounds and wildflowers riotously color the hillsides. "I can't think of any animal that better represents the grandeur of nature out west," Marris says. "The massiveness of the buffalo reflects the vastness of the sky and landscape. The buffalo and the west are equally wild and enduring - and spring brings out the best in both of them."
