Soaf tells Huckleberries Online that “I was on my way down to La Barge WY yesterday. As I was headed through the Hoback River Canyon South of Jackson WY, I came around a corner on the highway and was greeted with the critters in the attached pics standing in the middle of the road. This pix of a ewe standing (only fee) from my vehicle.”

I always enjoy any contact with animals that are just being themselves. We all co-exist on this fragile planet, and I hope we continue to do so.

I couldn’t agree more Stickman!!!
However,,,,,, for several seconds as I was trying to get my vehicle whoa’d up,,,,, I was sure wishing they could have been themselves someplace else. :-)
Fortunately everything worked out just fine though.

I nearly hit one of those in the same vicinity, Soaf.
I didn’t see the ewe turn.

John: There is never any joy in hitting anything that is living.

We had three moose (meese?) in our neighborhood last winter. Before the season was out, all three had been killed on the highway.

it is a disgrace the amount of animals that are killed on our road ways.
