Nice shots Dave, ours are in that same posturing stage.

I was wondering how things are shaping up on your side of the hill. Was planning on heading over this weekend but have some things to take care of over here. Hopefully the refuge sheep will be down by the road again. Will definitely try to get over soon but life keeps getting in the way

Fantastic photos, Dave! Count your blessings for living in that part of the world (at least for photo ops)!

Both very nice. But I'm with Kathy, that first with the snow is really nice. Great work!

Here's one from this morning. It was 5 degrees (F) this morning at sunrise and these Trumpeter Swans were mostly hunkered down on the ice when this one got up to stretch.

Thanks Kathy. Yeah, I'm still adjusting to the winter photo scene and things like shooting with gloves on and bundled up under many layers

Was watching a couple of Bighorn rams that weren't in the mood to get up and joust when this lamb wandered up and gave me a look. A bit too much lens for a whole body shot so I spun the lens for a portrait.

Come west, young man, come west. And you'll see bighorn sheep!Awesome images, David. I'm envious, I haven't even seen a live bighorn sheep after 20 years in Canada.
I'm not envious of your snow, though. We certainly get our share of the white stuff as well.
It's certainly on my bucket list, my friend.
But here's the thing: Wyoming is less of a distance than BC for me to fly from Toronto. So do I go camp on Dave's doorstep, or yours?

Was out at the local pond photographing Trumpeter Swans when this Muskrat climbed out onto the ice. Might be the first time I've photographed one of these out of the water
