I spent an afternoon on Mount Evans over the holiday weekend. Unfortunately, the lighting was harsh, but I had fun shooting anyway.

As always, C&C are welcome.

14. Not the best shot, but it was the best I could come up with at the time. This pika was quick.

15. This yellow-bellied marmot didn't want to come out to play.

Very nice set, Kevin. I was lucky to see it once when I was in Colorado Springs few years back.

Excellent. I am almost envious of those Mountain Goats. Ive never been able to get anywhere near that close to them here in Montana.

Kevin- Good set and variety. I was up there last Monday so I can relate to what you were up against. (I had fog, wind and rain) But, like you say it's fun regardless of the weather conditions. Maybe we will run into each other one day.

Super nice shots...the only quibble I have is that the goats are common place in their settings. Goat shots are the ones with full winter regalia of long coats, wind and snow. Just nit picking

Thank you Sandor. Yes, it is very spring-like at the top.

Thanks Greg. The goats on Mt. Evans are very used to people. Unfortunately, people sometimes abuse that. There was a young woman who started walking right up to the goats, getting VERY close. When I yelled to her that this wasn't a good idea, and she was too close, she replied "But I'm not even touching them!". Sheesh.

I saw your posted photos, Greg, and I really like them. That spurred me to go there myself. Yes, perhaps we will run into each other some time.

Agreed, that would make for much better shots. For now, I will take what I can get!

Kevin, Love them! There are many behind my house here in Montana, but I've never been able to get within 200 yards! Just not enough people here for them to acclimate. I'm glad you were able to share these!
