    On parade

    While driving along Maligne Road between Jasper and the Maligne Lake, I saw these Big Horn sheep milling around in a bunch on the berm. The nearest place to safely pull off the road was about 50 yards further on. By the time I did so, they had arrayed themselves as shown and were headed for me...
