Ram's Stare

Good size Mountain Sheep ram came to attention as the I apparently overstepped maybe 1 step too close and invaded his personal space. Close enough I snapped off a few and moved away so he could continue is winter meal. Shot taken in Yellowstone National Park just North of Tower Junction.
