Fantastic set, glad you shared so many big beautiful shots. Those kids are too cute. You are lucky to have these guys as neighbors.
Jim, thank you I truly appreciate you taking the time to view these Mountain Goat images and make a comment. I agree, I'm very lucky that I have this heard of goats so close to my home.

Greg an amazing collection of images with wonderful backgrounds and poses. They hardly even seem to pay any attention to the fact you’re present. My guess is you are the only person present for most these shots, which is a true blessing considering the crowds in the parks these days. Lovely work.

Another excellent set of Mountain Goat images!
You are fortunate to live near these critters and you take full advantage of it to do some superb photography.
Thanks for posting these.
Dave
Thanks Dave, I greatly appreciate it. It's really nice to have them so close my home. It was a good year for kids this year along with a lot of snow for backgrounds.
Thanks again,
Greg

So beautiful in every possible way, that last image is to die for!
Thank You Juan, I really appreciate your comments. It's a great place to live with high peaks, deep blue sky and lots of wildlife.

Very nice in great coats. Is this recent? Our goats have lost their coats. You consistently get great pictures week to week. I know the challenge of big mammals is knowing where there are and when. Great job. Scott

Greg, I always look forward to your goat pictures. These are absolutely fantastic. I recently retired from teaching and may have to plan a trip out that way sometime to see these beauties.

These are just amazing shots with great composition and light [Also, not over editing or processed unlike some we see on this forum].

Scott- Thanks for the feedback. I do appreciate it. To answer your question, yes they are recent. I started looking for and shooting these goats on June 11th and continued until June 26th. By the 26th some, but not all had started to shed around their neck and face. I went back this morning and noticed they are starting to shed a lot. I attached a couple of shots. Maybe the reason why they still have their coats is the high altitude and cooler air. I shoot them from 11,300' to around 13,500' in elevation. It was 39°F this morning at 6:30 when I started hiking for them. Not sure how that compares to the goats you shoot.

A fantastic and enjoyable set Greg. The environment is stunning, great isolation on several of your subjects with equally attractive views and perspectives. Wonderful presentation buddy
