I took yesterday off and headed southwest of Denver in the hopes of getting pics of the Centennial State’s official animal. Technically I succeeded but not the way I had hoped. Naturally I was really wanting to see the Bighorn Sheep rams, the big boys.

Unfortunately, my 10 1/2 mile bike ride yielded only ewes and lambs. I did see a few rams but they stayed high on the canyon sides and never came down to give me a decent shot. At least the little ones are cute and made for a decent consolation prize.
