Bighorn sheep ram contemplates its pursuit path
A bighorn sheep ram stops and thinks about the best way across a sheer cliff’s face. (© Tony’s Takes)

Jumping back to November for this capture of this handsome fellow. He was negotiating the sheer cliffs of a Colorado canyon, in pursuit of the love of this life (well, his love of the moment anyway – haha).

She was very nimble, quite easily negotiating a path across and higher. He seemed to struggle a bit, unsure of his footing but knowing what he wanted. Here, he paused, curling his lips to get a good smell of her, seeming to try to decide if it was worth continuing the pursuit. In the end, he did and they both disappeared over the top of the cliff.
