While hiking in a remote canyon in Utah, I was thrilled to spot an entire herd of Bighorn Sheep in the distance on the trail before me. Expecting them to bolt at any moment, I proceeded as soundlessly as possible to try to get a better look. To my amazement, they didn't run, but instead scrutinized me as I approached, getting more astounding photos with each step. I was only about ten feet away when this little guy posed for me. What a treat on the trail!

Marsha Reeves
What an amazing thing to happen--to be able to get such close-up reference photos. We only have a few Bighorns left in Texas, and then only in remote areas West Texas. The chance of seeing one in the wild is almost nil here. Your watercolor rendition is gorgeous! l/f
Anne Gifford replied:
Thank you Marsha. I was amazed that I saw several of them together in Utah and was able to get the photos to work from.
