Sorry this is such a long post but I wanted to give the sense of this place, a grasslands park just north east of Kamloops, B.C.

1. The setting

8. The story. While we were there one lone ewe led nine rams around by their noses, up and down this little canyon. (Stop me guys if this story sounds familiar ). Most of the action was very civil but there was one pretty good clash. Part of the group then formed for a group portrait and as always happens one clown has to spoil it.

11. And I finish with this intimate moment in the shade.

Nice shots!! The second sheep post tonight, what happened to all the birders? I love sheep and whether BC or NV the country has a lot of "rough" similarities! And that one ram is a real dandy.

Wow, that is one gorgeous specimen. That big boy is outstanding. Nice work, Rob. I love the Kamloops area and that part of British Columbia.

Real nice set Rob! Both the sheep and the scenery. Thanks for putting all the scenery shots in, I enjoy seeing where the pictures were taken. 6 & 10 would be my picks

Thanks for the nice comments everyone.
Karl - It is interesting country, desert-like and quite different from our forested home.
Tim - #10 is my favourite as well, I think it shows how much fun these guys are to watch.

Very nice set Rob and good to see some of the environment too.
Looks like the competition was fairly intense for the ewe's favour well born out in # 8 to 10!
