Still, it's a nice capture of the way it is. The marmot is also sharp, but his face is in shadow. were these at Glacier NP? Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1

Great capture of the marmot as well, detail and background balance is a touch tight for me but the overall expression is really fine stuff! Love that first shot even with the metal bar.

These were from a quick trip up Mt. Evans. Colorado. I should have realized it was Mt Evans, a place I love to go. In 2006, I was there in July and saw shedding goats. When I went back in late August, the coats were all fresh and pretty. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1

Then they jumped over and went on their way. I'd prefer the wall to these rocks.

The goat just hangs out on the guardrail like that?
