A herd of bighorn sheep rams graze on a spring time hillside in western Montana. Behind the lens. I was fairly high in elevation while photographing these bighorns, and the clouds were moving in and out like fog. The frame just before this one (with fewer faces) was mostly in the fog, this frame a few seconds later (with more faces) was in the clear. You just never know...
A bighorn sheep ram rests in a field full of springtime flowers in western Montana. Behind the lens.
A younger bighorn ram rubs his forehead against the horns of the elder patriarch, in a friendly gesture of subordination. Behind the lens. This was spring time, and the rams weren't bashing heads together like they do during the fall rut. But they still pushed each other around and rubbed their heads together in a way that, to me, looked more like friendly play.
