I love rainy days, so when the weather's bad, I try and get out and get some shots as often as I can. Wife got me a Nikon D500 (I LOVE this camera) for my b-day. Normally I'd have to lay down for a shot like this, but thanks to the tilt screen I was able to place the camera on the ground focus and shoot.
Cosina Cosinon 50mm f1.7, with detail extractor pp.
Some time ago, I tried and failed to repair this lens - the focus has jammed. It's stuck on one focal length (just under 3 feet).
But it's not a bad length, as the reason to use this lens is the unusual, fun and sometimes swirly bokeh it produces.
Bighorn rams in early morning light. Good things happen to photographers who get out early. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
I would like to thank everyone who take the time to view and comment on my photographs it is greatly appreciated and encouraging

This zodiac has its origins from the greek myth of Zeus sending Aries the ram at the last minute as a sacrificial scape goat, in place of obedient King Athamas having to sacrifice his beloved children as an offering to the Gods on Mount Laphystium:
"Thrixos and Helle were the son and daughter of King Athamas and his first wife Nephele. The king's second wife, Ino, was jealous and wished to kill his children. To accomplish this, she induced a famine in Boeotia, then falsified a message from the Oracle of Delphi that said Phrixos must be sacrificed to end the famine. Athamas was about to sacrifice his son atop Mount Laphystium when Aries, sent by Nephele, arrived...After arriving, Phrixos sacrificed the ram to Zeus"—Wikipedia, Aries (constellation)
Aries is also the ram with the golden fleece that Jason and the Argonauts pursued.
The ram in my photo is actually a hood ornament from a 1959 Dodge Ram.

funny decoration on the grille of this heavy Dodge with several moose figurines. Made us both smile and was worth a pic :-)

Judging from the size - and unbroken condition - of this bighorn ram's horns, he's an adult, but relatively young.
It's nice to see a healthy sheep herd. As a species they're vulnerable to highly contagious bacterial pneumonia, thought to be spread from domestic sheep. So far, the Yellowstone herds have been spared.
This ram made me smile peeping round the shed to keep an eye on me as l walked past the croft he was on
Bighorn sheep ram, 3-Dec-2025, Montana. I was below the ram so the foreground blur was from the snowpack.
What a strange combo to appear on a wall could not pass this up, green light, ram, louvers, scoreboard, lubrication Pennzoil, and camel cigarettes on top of the scoreboard, you figure out the message in this ;o)
Watching Rams, the Australian remake of the Icelandic film of the same name last night, I realised this Christmas ornament would make the perfect subject for my daily photo.
for macromondays theme: metal
I was going to use this shot of a truck hood ornament for last week's curve theme, but I decided to post two other photos, which showed more unusual examples of curves. Feeling lucky that it works for this week's theme, too.
