Love your photos. Would you consider giving the coordinates for those that you highlight?

Lovely photo. I agree with Mr. Abbey’s quote—nature’s beauty is powerful.

I love your images of the squalls. And it reminded me of the day we spent there on our last trip – a day not unlike the one you describe here. It was also, by the way, the day we encountered you at the entrance station. It was cool, a little breezy, and there was a hint of storm clouds on the horizon. As they got closer to Canyonlands, I found myself trying to find the “right place” for photography. Eventually, I wound up at the Green River Overlook (one of my favorite spots) and took quite a few photographs of the approaching squall (a squall that never got as close as I’d hoped it would).

Anyway, here’s one image that I posted on my site ( http://paulmaximphotography.wordpress.com/2013/04/03/flight-path/ ). It was interesting because of the sudden appearance of the raven that flew up from below the cliff. Danged bird really surprised me, but it made for a better image!

Comment on The bighorn and I by Paul Maxim

Kathryn – Thank you! Someone’s going to have to tell those bighorn at Zion, though, that they’re not supposed to be down there! It was a couple of years ago, but we saw a small group of them down in one of the washes that you find in the upper (eastern) part of the park. There were even some young ones with them. They were mainly just eating which, of course, might explain why they were down there. Still, it’s comforting to know that if I run into one in the future that they’ll quickly head in the other direction.

Thanks again!

You have a way with words.

Paul, our bighorn biologist tells me what I suspected: that you will NOT find a bighorn in a slot or wash, as they’d be unable to watch for predators in that habitat. They like wide-open views. In the remote chance that one might be forced to use a slot as a corridor for travel, they would turn and run from you in a heartbeat if you came around a corner. So… breathe easier as you hike!
