Licking the salt

22 Aug 2014 266
Friends, Cathy and Terry, and I, had a great day out in the mountains on 19 August 2014. Our trip was part way along Highway 40 and then along the Smith-Dorrien/Spray Lakes Trail. The weather forecast was not good for this day, but we were so lucky that, apart from a few raindrops, the rain stayed away. The sun actually came out at two locations we stopped at for a short while. This group of Bighorn Sheep was licking the salt from the road. We had just started taking a few photos when a car came from the opposite direction. The driver barely slowed down, which of course scattered the animals. It's always a treat to see them, no matter how many times one has seen them before. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bighorn_sheep

Two members of the fair-sized herd of Mountain Sheep that were licking the salt off the road when I drove along Elbow Falls Trail towards Forgetmenot Pond recently.
