Bighorn Sheep bed down in the grasses and plants they feed on. The seeds and buds and stems from the plants attach themselves to the sheep’s coat, dotting it all over as in this image. This ram was enthusiastically chewing a stem of something that had a small dollop of snow that made it look almost like a flower. It wasn’t until after I took the photograph that I realized it was a dollop of snow and not a flower bud. These magnificent ovines can be an endless source of fascination and entertainment in Yellowstone.
I am just in awe of your photos!!!
If it works out we are booking a ship in Alaska the 1st of August that holds 22 passengers. It can get in to places larger ships can’t. Actually it really is a boat :). It’s part of Uncruise. Waiting to hear back. We had to change the dates because everything was booked already. And obviously there isn’t much room on these cruises. We will see bears but not the teddy bears.
