Mountain Sheep family

Uploaded: August 23, 2009

Description

This family was part of the herd of Mountain Sheep we saw on our way to RMNP just off the highway.
Often cars will be pulled over - a sure signal that there is something of interest ahead. I could not believe how many people were using their cell phone cameras to capture these magnificent animals.
Taken with my 70/200mm 2.8 lens - handheld.
I hope you had a blessed Sunday!
