Life's a Stitch

Certainly not in the time of covid. But here's the story. Over Christmas in California we spent some time at Lake Cohuilla, one of my favourite spots. It's a county park and as we entered the gate we were told that a herd of bighorn sheep were on the hillside. I can't tell you how many times we've looked for those sheep and not seen anything. It's no wonder, as they blend so perfectly into their surroundings as nature intended.

We took our walk around the lake, taking in the scenery and wildlife.

An hour and a half later, returning to our picnic spot we spotted 17 sheep a short distance away.

As we had lunch, the surprisingly curious creatures had their own meal  just feet away from us. There was a sign in the park warning people not to approach the big horn sheep. Apparently that advice doesn't go both ways.

This one was wearing her jewelry, ear tags and neck tracker: 

We complain about the park’s $6 per person entry fee, but this was well worth the cost of admission.
