Beautiful bighorn sheep were grazing alongside Highway 285 near Bailey, Colorado last Sunday.
I had my camera with me and The Grill-Meister was happy to pull the car over. One of the sheep let me get very close, and it seemed that he was either mildly annoyed or mildly amused by me. He moved slowly, turning this way and that. Posing for me, I think. What visual riches! It was an awesome experience.
So I had to write a haiku or two. Or three. Serious and not-so-serious.
ancient memories,
yesterdays and tomorrows,
in your horns and fur
regal, princely stare –
you wondrous, animal, you!
thank you for posing
what are you thinking?
“get back, lady with camera –
let me eat in peace!”
