...DALL SHEEP on TURNAGAIN ARM...


Recommended Posts

...I'm actually trying to remember...-lol-:o:D

...I've been trying to find a couple of the short video clips I took of them, to upload...

-I don't exactly have the most organized filing system on the computer with my pictures -lol-(just ask Leo-I think he gave up trying to help me, when he and Mary were up here...and, it's worse, now...)-I've only had this digital camera for a year...and never really learned certain computer stuff...

-I'm sifting through: trapping from last year, bear scouting, the sheep hunt on the Gerstle(haven't yet even got the full story w/ pics and video posted on that-:o)- the Wyoming hunt, Gunnison, the new kittens the girls got, homeschool projects, days on the range,gun shows, girl scouts....-

-Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!- I need help . I don't know how to make a separate folders for pictures-

-and then I'm afraid of ERASING pictures from the camera after putting them on the computer-so, everytime I unload, it's a huge batch of the new...plus, all the pictures I have already put on "my pictures"on the computer to begin with-

-so...-lol- if I count how many times I have emptied my camera since I took pics of these sheep...-who knows??...-there might be 27 or so, by now...

..or, maybe even 45....-lol-:D:)

-Actually..-I believe you are right..-I seem to remember there being 9....(Whiskeyswamp was the one to guess correctly first?) -mostly ewes and lambs...and a sub-legal ram, I think-

-I didn't hang around there-had kids tired, fussy, facing a long drive back home...and other people were showing up- I don't like to make them nervous(the sheep-)

-here's another picture...pretty lighting over Cook Inlet- from Turnigan arm....

-...and thankyou, Charlie!-I'm glad you enjoy the pics I post- I'll try to post more pictures, then....:)

-ps...-this is a closed area for sheep hunting, out of season; and a sub-legal ram, among ewes and lambs....

-that wool just jumped from $180,000.... to probably about $350,000 worth of hunting fines...

:D:D:D:D:D- just had to add that-

-hey, I just remembered...I have a bunch of great Alaska RR pics to post- you worked up here on the railroad, didn't you...?

i see the 9 as well. What else is awesome of this pic, is I have a pic of the exact shot you took but during May. When I go to my parents house I will try and find it and post it. I am so lucky that I have been there and can not wait to go back some day. Seeing that pic brings back awesome memories and just lightened my day. Thanks!!!!
