Big Horn Sheep

[Deon Reynolds]

Big Horn Sheep (Ovis canadensis) - Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.
I do not profess to be a wildlife photographer, nor do I have a gigantic lens. But, when they just waltz into your camp and hang about for the better part of an hour, what do you do?… Make a lot of images, of course!
Canon 5Dsr / Canon 200mm f=2.8 L MkII - hand held everything set to manual.

Why yes...that's exactly what you do! Get some shots! This must have been a blast, watching them amble around. They appear fearless - just checking you out.

Gorgeous area! What a fun day.

What a great example of serendipity!! And a great example of taking advantage of a situation presented to you.

I can't help but wonder if they were looking for handouts?

The way they looked us over made us wonder if they were looking for handouts too.

Beautiful shots! The rest of us are hiking through the mud and dirt to get shots half as good!
