Not dressed in their Sunday best

Friends, Cathy and Terry, and I, had left Calgary early morning on Wednesday (14 May 2014) and I think it was around 12:15 a.m. midnight (Thursday, 15 May 2014), that they dropped me off at home after two long, wonderful days in the Rocky Mountains, west of the city. Wednesday night was spent in a spotless motel, in a place that had so many Mountain Sheep roaming the streets, lol! This particular group was "mowing" the grass around a small church. Most Sheep we saw were losing their winter coats and looked really ragged.

Though we were hoping to see at least one Bear on this trip, I was happy as can be to see absolutely anything beautiful : ) As it turned out, over the two days, we had 7 bear sightings, with three definitely different Black Bears (no Grizzlies), and possibly four. The rest of the sightings were of Bears we had already seen.
