[Leica] met on the road 2

Hi LUG,
        It has really been cold here at the edge of the wilderness, but 
today I 
talked my wife into going skiing again.  Again we met some interesting 
things on the road.  The buffalo were well off the road but the Mountain 
sheep were down by and on the road.

One might wonder what this guy was doing standing in the middle of the 
road.  Licking up salt water from the sand sprinkled on the road by the 
snowplow, I guess

In one of the pastures down in the valley there were a bunch of cows in the 
field and I thought of Graham's inflatable cows.  Really they are cow elk 
who have decided that this pasture is probably to open for the wolves to 
come into.  While skiing this year we have found the leavings of several 
wolf meals.

All these were taken with a 50 mm Summicron.  There were two bald eagles in 
one tree at the head of the valley, but they look like two black and white 
dots in the photo.  I think using a 400 mm would have gotten them well.


Hope you enjoy.
Lee
