BIGHORN SHEEP RACING DOWN A CLIFF. I WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME WITH THE RIGHT LENS.

 

LEAPING SHEEP, WHISTLING MARMOT, BLUE BLUEBIRDS AND MORE.

 These images were taken just before I took the video of the sheep racing down the hill.  We had an interesting drive on Saturday evening.

The bighorn sheep had the munchies and were busy scarfing down the new leaves.

Well, I guess I'd better catch up to the girls.

Did you see me make the jump?

This marmot was whistling a warning about the sheep being too close.

A COLLECTION OF EARLY APRIL PHOTOS CLOSE TO HOME.

    With the longer hours of daylight we've been taking some evening drives as well as morning ones.  I've been climbing up onto a bluff to get better photos over the vineyards and sometimes meet up with the bighorn sheep up there.  I took the General out for a ride in the hills yesterday and saw several other ATV riders, one of which I knew.  The snow has gone but not much for colour yet.
