Longhorn, by Tisha Clinkenbeard

The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is a great, hidden gem just outside of Lawton, Oklahoma (southwest Oklahoma). The beauty of the over 59,000 acres that are home to buffalo, longhorn cattle, elk, and deer provides an immersion in nature for the visitor. This longhorn was enjoying the peace of the afternoon as I wandered through the Refuge.

Tisha Clinkenbeard works have been in exhibits at The Fine Arts Center of Hot Springs, Black Box Gallery in Portland, and in several fine art shows in Texas. She believes photography captured her years ago before we had the digital wonders for cameras. Her life offers many opportunities to capture the things that she sees as she wanders this earth. Her goal is to share what she finds Round & About – which was the inspiration for her photo blog: foundroundandabout.com. Two of Tisha’s photos have been appeared in the Birds & Blooms monthly online newsletter – April and December of 2011.
