Big Horn Sheep

I was on the road between Lillooet and Lytton earlier this summer when I noticed the sheep on the rocks near the road.


They were very calm and the traffic did not bother them at all.


I was able to pull over and snap a bunch of pics and thought I would share them with you.


Aren't those a lovely set of horns!


Sheep on two levels.  They were amazing to watch climbing all over the rocks and ledges.


Here one decided to cross the road and went down the steep slope there possibly for a drink of water at the river.




Some of these pics look as if the sheep posed for me.


Off he goes to check something out.


Checking out the view.


Another great pose!


I was able to catch one short sequence of him climbing down.








Back again where he started.

  2. We saw Bighorns when we visited Glacier National Park this summer. It is amazing how well they can blend with the rocks.
