Out this morning along the rim of the Canyon shooting birds and found 6 Bighorn sheep hanging out on the rocks at the edge of the rim. It was a good morning! I have more if you want to see them.:D

Very nice! The backgrounds really add to the image too. Looks like today was your lucky day. Gotta dig the bighorns.......

You beat me to the punch, or should I say to the post.

Nice work. Isn't it usually pretty hard to get near these guys?

Usually it is, but at the Grand Canyon they are really tame. I was probably 25 feet away from them for about a half an hour. There were lots of other people around me. The people didn't seem to bother them but when a couple of dogs got too close they got nervous. I asked the poeple with the dogs to retreat and they did and the sheep settled back down again.

Wow! Great shots... The background you get in and around the canyon is special, beautiful images.

Are these shots of the same sheep?
