Heehee. A bighorn ram checks a ewe to see if she is ready and willing.

Taken late last month, the big guy was going from female to female, gauging their readiness for the season. Unfortunately for him, none seemed ready – or willing.

Since then I have made two outings for bighorn sheep but have gotten skunked both times. Sigh. Such is the life of a wildlife photographer. I cover tons of miles and spend a lot of time out there but the critters aren’t always cooperative.
