In Your Face

We just came down from hiking the Skyline Trail in Jasper National Park. There was a flock of Big Horn Sheep grazing in the grass near where we were parked. They were not very worried about humans being around them.

Quite the wild-eyed expression. Looks like she's scratching at all that old wool from last year. A bit wider crop might have showed off the exact behavior and state of the coat a little better. This tight crop does emphasize the expression though, so depends on your intentions. This must be at the Hotsprings, I try and get there a few times every summer for a soak.

Nice crazy eyes and shedding fur. Love the expression. Is that a foot on the left side? Did it just get done scratching?
