That would have been great! I've seen them, of course, but not since I've had a decent camera too!

I've been to Colorado Springs several times, I wish I had a decent camera back then for the big horn ram I saw roaming around.

I agree! While American wildlife is wonderful, it's not all that colorful...that's not to say it's not spectacular anyway! (I'm in Colorado...)

That is just amazing in my book. They don't grow these in Ohio - Ha!
