Street Walker - 2011 Project 365 - Day 76 of 365


"Street Walker"

Day 76 of 365

Today I went for a drive to Waterton Lakes National Park in southern Alberta, Canada and as I was driving up the mountainside towards Crandell Mountain, this ram came walking up the center of the road and just stood in front of my car and stared in the window. After a short staring contest he walked around the side of my car and proceeded down the street.

"Fight!"

Day 73 of 365

While at the park today, taking pics of prairie dogs playing in the sunshine, two prairie dogs decided to have a fight. Both of them were standing on their hind legs taking swipes at each other, all claws out like two cats. It was very interesting to watch as well as comical.

Taken at Park Lake Provincial Park in Southern Alberta.
