Baaad Weaaather on Mt. Evans
Saturday morning I went to Mt. Evans with the plan of photographing the near full moon setting over the distant Tenmile Range at about the same time the sun was coming up. Clouds in just about every direction foiled that attempt. Instead, I was lucky enough to get up close to some mountain goats that were frolicking at the end of the road around the Crest House. It was probably the exact opposite experience that Brian described in his post just a day later. I saw a few marmots and pikas along the road too, but they were not in areas I could safely pull over to photograph them. :eek:

Wide-angle environmental shot of adult and kids.

One of my favorite photos of the kids is also available at the fauna gallery here: http://www.naturephotographers.net/imagecritique/ic.cgi?a=vp&pr=150593&CGISESSID=c98828107d377d171ebfd23e5ed0a8fa&u=16458
