Friends, Cathy and Terry, and I, had a great day out in the mountains on 19 August 2014. Our trip was part way along Highway 40 and then along the Smith-Dorrien/Spray Lakes Trail. The weather forecast was not good for this day, but we were so lucky that, apart from a few raindrops, the rain stayed away. The sun actually came out at two locations we stopped at for a short while.

This group of Bighorn Sheep was licking the salt from the road. We had just started taking a few photos when a car came from the opposite direction. The driver barely slowed down, which of course scattered the animals. It's always a treat to see them, no matter how many times one has seen them before.
