Just back from a short trip to Glacier NP where we saw some fat bighorn sheep:

Lovely images, Art! Love the red carpet below the bighorns and the spiky fur on the bears. Bear #1 is really a stunner with great attitude.

Great shots Art! I love GNP this time of year. Always a treat to get close enough to Grizzlies for pics.

Just got back from GNP yesterday, but I only saw a fox close enough to photograph. Where did you see the big horn sheep? I went to Glacier every year from 2015 to 2018 and saw mountain goats every year at Logans pass, but I didn't see 1 this year.
