These big horn sheep were grazing 20 yards off of I-84 in eastern Oregon. These animals have since been trapped and removed to a more isolated area. The Oregon dept. of trans. considered them a traffic danger.
A great white Egret that came to our Koi pond...did not allow me to photograph it. It was quite an experience. When I got within 5', it scoffed at me, spread his wings as if to say "I dare you" and flew off. I was intimidated by its beauty and dignity...I should have let it have my dad's $10,000 Koi, right?
I took these pictures when I was living on Kure Island in the mid 80s. The island is located about 1200 miles NW of Honolulu. It used to be a Coast Guard LORAN station with a crew of about 18 people. It was a very interesting place with lots of wildlife. Sorry about the quality I did not have a very good camera then.
I was so excited when I saw her, I was on the 3rd floor and grabbed my camera and ran out to get some pics of her. I don't see them nearly as often as I used too unfortunately
