Red Rocks Big Horn Sheep. / by Alasdair Turner

A forced rest day due to rain is not always a bad thing. I took the time to hunt down one of the herds of big horn sheep that roam the canyons here at Red Rocks National Conservation Area. I managed to find them in less than an hour and spent the next couple hours sitting still on a rock as they slowly grazed their way closer. They are usually a fairly difficult animal to get close to, but the heard here is fairly tame. These photos were shot with the 70-200 2.8 lens.








I have been down here at Red Rocks for 2.5 weeks now, and have shot a lot of photos. In the next week or so I will be sorting thought them and posting the best here on the blog.
