Bighorn Sheep and First Snow

[DRwyoming]

Woke up to first real valley snow of the season. Love to shoot wildlife in fresh snow so after some Thanksgiving baking I headed out to see what I could find and came across these Bighorn Sheep Rams who were kind enough to hang around for some portraits.

Looks like you are getting the snow a little earlier up there. Ours started Friday morning down in CO near Boulder. Great shots in a perfect setting!

Thanks Woody, yeah this storm came in much bigger than they called for. Expected trace to an inch or so in the valley and got closer to five inches in the yard with more in the mountains. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort opened for skiing this morning with the new snow on top of manmade on a couple of runs.

I miss a nice soft snow! Great shots Dave, brings back fond memories of being in those conditions!

Graceful is the word that comes to mind when I look at these images. Nice work.

Happy Thanksgiving folks!

Great set of photos. It’s on my bucket list to get up your way in the Winter! Thanks for sharing.

Lucky you to live in country like that -- and yeah, I know we usually make our own luck. Nice batch of young rams -- when they grow up they'll be impressive. You have some really nice photos there.

Lovely Dave. In a few days I will be making my way to Jackson Hold from London
