Saturday Critters

Instead of taking a long vacation this year, we decided to see other areas in Oklahoma. After all, we do live here. Last weekend, we went to the The Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge near Indiahoma, OK. It's in the western part of the state. 

When I was about to give up on seeing a buffalo, this big boy emerged from a herd of cattle. Of course, when I had the opportunity for the best shots, he decided it was time to evacuate yesterday's food. If you know what I mean. So, had to wait until he was finished to get this pic with a truck in the background. Oh well, at least I got to see one. :)

Of course, we took Gus with us. He likes to travel, too. He was happy to see this prairie dog. He wears a bark collar due to his propensity for barking at anything and everything, so he didn't bark. He did wag his tail and squeak. In case you are wondering, the bark collar only sounds a tone when he barks once, and vibrates if he barks again. It doesn't have the shock capability.  

We made a stop at Holy City of the Wichita's, which is inside the reserve, and got to see some awesome buildings. This is a shot of the church. Holy City was built in 1934, as a replica of the holy land. We saw Pilate's judgment hall, Herod's Court, the Garden of Gethsemane, and the Lord's Supper building. 

A play presented near Christmas, tells the story of Jesus from his birth through resurrection. The play has been presented every year for the past 90 years.
