It’s been a while since I have shared a pic of the Colorado state animal. This image is from last October in the Big Thompson Canyon. The terrain is extraordinarily rugged and steep, prime habitat for these fleet-footed mountain climbers.

This handsome fellow was one of the more impressive rams that morning and while he indicated a willingness to go head-to-head with competitors, none were wanting to take the challenge. I really loved the pose on this image and the way it showcases the terrain.
