Before life was on hold for a week or so after Steve’s biking accident, I had another lovely adventure in the name of research. And another day of sharing the canyon with friends.
This little guy born yesterday needs to learn how to suckle…Mom needs a lesson too.
He is too young to get up the canyon on his own so he goes in a sling on the herders shoulder.
Some favorite snacks along the way…too much can make a sheep’s stomach bubble…not good.
Almost at the top!
This sheep herder always knew where to catch a little shade.
Nothing can quite describe the beauty of a herd of sheep flowing through the canyon…reminds one of the joy that is to be had in life even after the trauma of a horrific accident. We are lucky to live in Chinle and to share in the life here…it is healing.
