Beautiful wildlife capture here Laura.
When I shot these guys I always liked a car or fence inbetween. Didn't know if they would ever charge or not. #1403552

This is a very interesting capture indeed and I can't help imagine all the amusing topics they talk about ~ so suggestive image. The paparazzi must be having a heck of a good time admiring the area. These are really magnificent creatures and you've captured them beastifully! #9627044

Pom, when I first saw this, I thought, "Why was Pom in a museum taking photos of the well-lit displays while she was on vacation 'in the wild'?"
Then it came to me: POW! DUH!
You were actually IN THE WILD when you photographed these two gorgeous animals! I am beyond impressed. Can you tell?
Not much left to say, except:
WINNER next month! #9636054

Pom, I'm thrilled that that handsome buck (or whatever you call a male long horned sheep)would take time out from munching lichens (or whatever it is long horned sheep eat)to give me the time of day. Or a report on his whereabouts, i.e., in the wild...
As for a Canada-outdoors visit ~ it could happen! When I win the lottery ~ it could happen!
P.S. You'll get a chuckle if you click on your camera description under the photo... :-DDD
Now it's night-night time here in CA. Enjoy your weekend in the smog-free air! #9636394

Hi Mare and Chris! So good to see you ladies here!

OM GOSH Mare I laughed outloud to see my goat head there when I clicked the Canon camera info! HA!!!!!!! ONLY YOU would spot that! And HEY guess what? I added a comment there since a person can rate the camera if they like! Go see! HeeHee... LOVE IT! OH and if you click on the goat area, more images will pop up and most of them are mine too!

Love it and thanks for visiting you guys...Love hearing from you!

Isn't it just great when you can get this close to nature.? He sure is giving you the eye. At least he stayed still long enough. Great capture of nature. #9639083

Ken Smith level-classic August 28, 2011

Reminds me of Yellowstone N.P. You definitely got close...and I like the aqua river in the background! #9639158

Laura E. Swan level-classic August 28, 2011

Thanks Wm, Shelly, Patricia and Ken!

It's always so special to get this close to the wildlife. But it's never safe to walk up to them. I took this one from the inside of the vehicle! You bet your bippy! I was only 10 feet away but still safe in the car. They can charge if they want to and as you can see the human would lose! Lol...

I am respectful always and I even use a slow soothing tone and speak to them, thanking them for allowing me to take their picture! :D True! :))) He really WAS staring at me because I was talking to them at that moment. Ken, our lakes are so beautiful, as you know from your trip here.

Thanks for your great visit and comments!
