Bighorn Sheep
Captured this image yesterday around Georgetown. The snow and wind were really blowing, but I wanted to get a shot of a bighorn with snow falling around it. Thanks for looking.

ISO 320

Love the blowing snow. Great environment aspect to it, showing the perseverance of the animal.
Have you been camping up there the past couple of weeks?

Great shot Dan, you can really get a sense of the conditions with the streaks of snow.
