Little Big Horn

D90 Tamron18-270@60mm ISO 1250 F5 SS1/400
From the Settings you can see I was able to get pretty close to this Young Big Horn Sheep in the Badlands . One of a group of about 15 they were grazing the roadside and seemed not to care about the car or people who exited them to get a better shot. Perhaps being able to sprint into the open field on one side or down the hill side on the other was what kept them from spooking. At one point they actually approached some cars.
Santa's just around the corner now ;O) Ho Ho Ho
