 1 IMG 8718 copy Title, "Inquiry" This guy stopped eating and headed for the bottom of Fruita Canyon too. This photo was entered in the 100th Anniversary of the "Colorado National Monument" Photo - Art Contest in late 2010. It along with 19 other entries were hung and on display for 3 months in the the Grand Junction, Colorado, City Hall Building starting January 7, 2011. then for 3 months in the Mesa County, Colorado Building. Best of show, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, was announced the evening of January 7th. This photo wasn't in that group. This photo was the only animal photo of the 20 chosen to be on display. There was a total of 75 people who submitted 3 pieces of Art each for a total of 225 pieces in the contest. Being one of the 20 was an honor. Has anyone noticed something missing on the RAM? How about his right ear? He had it back of his head. To me it seemed to be a sign of alarm on his part. #109 is where 2 RAMS did a Head Butt that are rare Photo's to get.
