“This new day has greeted us with no rules; unconditional opportunity. Do not dilute the power of this new day with the hardship of yesterday. Greet this day the way it has greeted you; with open arms and endless possibility.”
Steve Maraboli
In darkness I drove east of town to watch the sunrise and distance myself from the city noise: trash trucks, sirens, traffic, landscapers and others. I felt tired but felt the need to stay open to any possibilities the new day may bring. Joyfully I encountered a group of five antelope (pronghorn) along Weld County Road 90. They are always on alert and in my experience they normally quickly run, keeping plenty of distance. So, for them to not run away while keeping a watch on me, was different and provided this photo opportunity. Not the best image because I used a handheld telephoto lens, out the car window, with the car running. No matter, I’ll take the experience I was offered. The sky is still filled with the smoke and will be for the next few days. May you have a wonderful Thursday.
Okay, I installed a new comment and subscription plugin called Subscribe to Comments Reloaded. Let me know if you have issues with it.

Thanks, Faye. Hoping you are having a great day!

As we don’t have antelope in Michigan, I know I would be particularly excited to come upon this group! I’ll check the box and see if your plugin works. (BTW, it is the same one I use and I like it – it has been reliable for me – at least I hope it has.)

BTW, I have the option where the plugin doesn’t send an email to confirm subscriptions. I figure if the person selects to receive the email beneath the comment, that is confirmation enough instead of sending them an additional email to confirm they want the email.

That’s awesome , Mark. I’m learning each day I use WordPress.

The message – to be totally open to what the day may bring – is so soothing. The contrasts of the terrain and the varying colors create a lovely background for the Pronghorns! Thank you Monte.
