It’s snowing in the altitudes near Golden, British Columbia Canada. And there are sheep high up in these peaks!
Here’s a sense of the September snow.
The Ewe Mountain Sheep and her two lambs were very high up in the crags of the peaks, jumping around. You can see the snow falling. It was 3 degrees centigrade. Here is a sense of the the height perspective. Look carefully and you can pick out the sheep family.
And here are some more shots of these stunners!
Please excuse me for not being able to respond well now. Internet is getting dicey as we move towards Revelstoke NP. I look forward to catching up with you soon!
Cheers to you from just past Golden, British Columbia, Canada!
Amazing photos. How do they cling to the rock like that? Wonderful animals!

And this is where the phrase “as nimble as a goat” comes from. Quick, light and agile on their feet, that they are those goats.
Great pics again Cindy! And this is where I can truly say I don’t miss the snow. 🙂
