One of the highlights of our trip to the Palm Springs area back in late January was hiking the Victor Loop at Agua Caliente, where we saw several bighorn sheep.
Most of these photos were taken by Tracey, whose newer iPhone has a much better zoom feature than my old iPhone. I was so impressed that as soon as I got home I bought a new phone. If you want the camera the with the good zoom feature, be sure to read the specs because only some of the new iPhones have them. Two that do have good telephoto cameras are the 16 Pro and the 16 Pro Max. I went with the Pro because it’s smaller than the Max, but still has the same good camera.
She took these photos from quite a distance away.
There’s a little calf in this next picture, awww.
The hike started and ended through a palm tree oasis.
Here are my attempts to take photos of sheep with my old phone. This particular sheep got closer to us than the others that Tracey was able to photograph.
Hmmm, not too bad, but I’ll just stick to taking landscape shots and let Tracey get the close ups of the sheep in the distance.
This rock stayed put nicely while I approached.
A month later the sheep got bored and decided to take a tourist hike of their own:
Too bad we missed that!
