22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Driving through the Valley of Fire when I suddenly saw a bighorn sheep with the incredible backdrop of red sandstone formations, the Aztec Sandstone.

“Red Rock Watcher” As a wildlife photographer, I am often looking for animals in their natural habitat and was licking to cross paths with the bighorn sheep. Animals actively play an important and integral part of our environment, they are always present we just have to look and pay attention.
