Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge

Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma is a prime location for my photography. I document the diverse terrain, from granite mountains to grasslands. I capture the bison, elk, and prairie dog populations. I observe the raptors and the unique plant life. I aim to show the refuge’s role in preserving a diverse ecosystem. The landscape’s rugged beauty is a constant source of inspiration.
