Wildlife photography has become one of my favorite ways to slow down and appreciate Colorado in a completely different way.
During a recent visit to , I spent some time following a herd of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep as they grazed along the hillsides. Instead of rushing from one location to another, I found myself simply watching how they interacted, moved together, and kept an eye on one another.
The last photo in this series ended up being my favorite. While the ewes quietly fed below, a mature ram stood above the herd, calmly watching over them. There wasn't any dramatic action or excitement—just a simple moment that reminded me why I enjoy photographing wildlife as much as I do.
Every trip into Colorado's outdoors has a story to tell. Sometimes you just have to slow down long enough to notice it.
