Bighorn Sheep

 

2020 brings the Bighorns...


 to the property for the first time this year.


I've been watching this battle worn Ram for years.


He has an old scar on his face that I recognize.


He was here with a large herd of Rams and little ones.


Those horns are massive as is he...


The little ones...


are so cute...


with their tiny, tiny horns.


Striking a beautiful pose to end my post...

Thinking of my friends in  Australia...
lives lost...
millions of wildlife lost...
property lost...
keep Australia in your prayers.

  5. Thank you Nancy, for your caring thoughts for Australia. Although I am safe, about 4-6 hours from the fires in Victoria, the devastation we have seen on news coverage & social media has been horrific. Communities, farming, houses and loss of lives has been so upsetting. Also so very saddened & concerned for the loss of our forests, birds and wildlife.

  7. Breathtaking photos. And yes, we must all keep Australia in our thoughts and prayers. My group is looking into the best way we can help. We will decide at the next meeting. Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos.

  8. Love that you share your wildlife photos with us. There is a small herd of similar Big Horn Mountain Sheep, that were released along the Oregon side of the Columbia River, in the steep desert area a few years ago and I always crane my neck to see them when hubby drives us through the area. You get much better photos than I could ever get. Thank you.
