Desert Big Horns at Canyon Lake

Whenever I visit Canyon Lake, I am on the look-out for wildlife. While kayaking, I tend to spend a lot of time looking at the geology and if I'm lucky, I'll spot something interesting. Today, I saw 5 Desert Big Horn Sheep and was able to take a few quick pictures. The quality isn't what I would like, as I really had to zoom in, not to mention I was sitting in my kayak. :) Anyway, I got a few decent ones. I also saw a Bald Eagle, but it landed up high on a cliff. I tried taking a couple of pictures, but neither one came out.

 Munching away.

 There are 5 sheep in this and the next picture. Can you spot them all?

Sentimental Journey - B17G Flying Fortress

One of the perks of living so close to a former Air Force base is that lots of interesting former and current military aircraft make use of the landing strip for various purposes. Today, I watched Sentimental Journey, a B-17G Flying Fortress pass over my house at different times during the day. Just after 5 PM, I headed over to the airport to watch her make multiple touch-and-go passes before she headed back to her home port at Falcon Field. What a beauty she is.
