Badlands National Park, South Dakota, Part 3

Continued from Part 2, Day one AM

I continued driving SD Route 240 through Badlands National Park looking for other photography opportunities.

Yes, my collar is the latest fashion here.

Near one pullout there was a small herd of Bighorn sheep posing for the park visitors that had begun to filter into the park.  It might not be appropriate to refer to these Bighorn as “wildlife”, since they do not pay much attention at all to the visitors, do not appear aggressive (at least, these ewe and lambs) and can be approached fairly closely.  Yet, I put on my big zoom, just to be able to shoot from a distance without getting so close as to possible startle or cause them to move away.
