While driving by Legion Lake in the Black Hills I spotted these Male Bighorn Sheep Lounging in the shade about 50 feet off the road. I zoomed in and snapped this picture.

I asked Jesus how much he loved me. He said "this much" then he spread his arms out and died.

It's amazing how they seem to be clones of each other, but then again if I were a sheep, I could probably tell the difference. The angle you saw these and shot these animals with is, in my opinion, more than half the reason why I like this picture so much. That they were in the shade is too bad, but I guess you could hardly ask them to move for you ..LOL... :)

Is this a stag party? Sorry :) Wonderful shot of this group. It looks like they posed for you! Good clarity and well composed with fine details - you have it all! They have awesome horns and are handsome creatures. We used to see them in the Mts of Colorado. I thank you Rich, for an excellent image :)

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. ~A.A. Milne
