Tiny Arguments

Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Colorado — 2025

For a brief moment on the prairie, these two young prairie dogs seemed to turn an ordinary interaction into something unmistakably familiar. One stood tall and animated while the other paused mid-meal, creating a scene that felt playful, curious, and unexpectedly human.

Part of the Small Works collection, this image was selected for its humor, simplicity, and emotional accessibility. The open prairie backdrop and clean composition allow the personalities of the animals to become the focus of the frame.
