After leaving Lake Louise - set off west and soon crossed from Alberta into British Columbia. Now in Yoho National Park. I was on my way up from the Yoho Valley to Takakkaw Falls which is a narrow, steep, road with hairpin bends. The road is only open 3 months of he year. I had to stop so a tour bus could get down around the worst bend of all, and then got out after I noticed this fellow sitting looking at me in the grass at the other side of the road. He just sat there quite contentedly. These sheep seem to like posing - pretty tame really! The original print had lost its color (fast photo processing) so have converted him to B & W.
See you all with more pics in a couple of days! Thanks to all of you for the support you gave me with yesteday's photo! So much appreciated. Am3 has such a great bunch of people! :-)
Please go ahead and give me constructive criticism where needed! If there is anything that I can change that really needs changing and I can do it in editing - then I will change it and re-post the photo! I promise I won't scream and shout or cry for very long!
My other photoblog has been started too! Anne's Galleries

Yoho is not a park I'd previously heard of; sounds like it could be a pirate place if it were on the coast somewhere.

@Viewfinder: Thanks for visiting! Yoho - in native language means "It's Wonderful" :-)
Your furry critter is a lot bigger than our furry critter today!

@vu@granby - Wolfgang Prigge: You are right! I think I said so when I visited Granby :-)
He almost looks as if he's smiling for you, a great shot Anne.

@MaryB: He does! Doesn't he! At least he never moved while I took his picture! Thanks for the visit and the comment Mary! :-)
This guy sure looks a bit sheepish and pretty cool in mono
