I decided to escape the never-ending Tahoe winter for a few days of mountain biking outside of Las Vegas. I was with my good friend Kevin Cannon and my dog Taz. As we approached the end of the Blue Diamond loop, Taz was the first to encounter a burro that was on the trail ahead. As I caught up, I pulled out my 5DII and 70-200 to see what kind of shots I could get.

As I was lining up shots of the burro with the mountains in the background, Taz alerted me to the other approaching animal. I grabbed a few more still photos, but as their activity increased, I decided to switch to video on my 5D to show all of the amazing movement that I was witnessing.
