C&TS's rotary has stalled out on the four percent grade just south of Hamilton's Point in southern Colorado. The combination of grade, curves and crusted snow has halted forward progress. Several reverse moves to ram the snow would eventually do the trick as the train heads towards Cumbres Pass.
The curl of the horns on this ram indicate that he is an old-timer. He was seen at the Sauer-Beckmann farm, a part of the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park on the Pedernales River near Stonewall, Texas. Johnson was the 36th president of the United States and grew up on an adjacent ranch. The farm is a living history operation where raising animals, maintaining a vegetable garden and other farming activities are part of the daily scene. The day we visited, farm workers were canning vegetables.

We are quite fond of the black rock Maine coastline. This day we had a view of Ram Island Lighthouse which is located south of Boothbay Harbor It is a thirty-five-foot-tall cylindrical tower, which consisted of a substantial granite foundation, a brick central portion (now painted white), and a cast-iron lantern containing an L. Sautter, fourth-order Fresnel lens. It was built atop an offshore ledge and linked to the island with a foot-bridge. The light was first shown in 1883. www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=502
This massive ram comes in at number eight on my smallest to largest series from a recent trip through South Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado. We found him in Badlands National Park. In addition to the fantastic geologic formations for which the park is known, it contains thousands of acres of mixed-grass prairie...where this guy and two buddies were sampling the fare.
I've seen plenty of Herdwick sheep before but this was the first time I've seen a Herdwick ram. He certainly looked like a sheep with attitude!

A male Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep amongst a herd of many sits still for a moment for me. Taken in the Highwood Pass area in Kananskis Alberta.

Yesterday I posted an image of Singleshot Mountain in Glacier National Park. The mountain got its name from a story that George Bird Grinnell had dispatched a bighorn sheep with a single shot.
Well two days after I photographed the mountain, I got five bighorns with a single shot. Take that George!
The only shooting I've been doing is for my school (still working on reprints of student photos), so I was looking through the mass of photos I took last month of the bighorn rut. I'm not sure of the crop, but I keep in mind that the more square the photo, the bigger it displays on FLICKR. This fellow was just magnificent!
Samedi 18 septembre 2021 me rendant à Nevers pour les JEP, petit arrêt improvisé à la dernière minute, afin de faire un IC reliant Paris Bercy à Clermont Ferrand. C’est avec une bonne surprise que l’intercités 5955, après avoir marqué un arrêt en gare de Moulins sur Allier, passe non loin du petit village de Bessay sur Allier, avec la 26156 avec une livrée carmillon propre et 2 coupons de 7 voitures corail, dont une rame de réserve en début de convois où l’on peut voir divers livrées sur ces dernières.
