Description
Many of my photographs come from simply blending into the landscape and waiting patiently for nature to reveal itself. While perched quietly on the side of a mountain, I caught a subtle movement in my peripheral vision. As I turned, I found myself being observed—this curious young Rocky Mountain Bighorn had noticed me first. With ears perked and eyes full of wonder, it leaned out from behind the rocks just long enough for this portrait. A quiet moment of mutual curiosity, captured in the wild.
