Bighorn Sheep II

This photo turned out better than I thought. It wasn't a big Ram with 40 pound horns, just a female. But, she is standing on the edge of Mt. Evans Colorado, proud nonetheless. The drop below her? Well, both she and I are at about 14,100 feet. I didn't actually walk right up to the edge, but I imagine the drop was several thousand feet. In the photo you can barely see the trees below. Since the tree-line is about 10,000, it's a pretty severe drop. Note the little tuff of her coat on the end of a horn.
