Love the detail and majesty of the first, the adoring expression on the second, and the inherent ease to climb "like a mountian goat" in the last. Love 'em all Dan!

How is it possible for you to get even better with every post? That is just not right! Does Nat Geo know about you? I mean come on! They are all unbelievably good, but that first one is utterly fantastic in every possible aspect of a fauna shot.

As usual I'm floored by your fauna posts and these are no exception. Those little ones are so damn cute.

Outstanding Dan really like #1 it would make a great magazine cover.
Posted by John Mumaw on July 13, 2010 at 11:31 PM
Yet again, professional caliber images of these magnificent creatures!
#2 is just above and beyond any mountain goat image I've ever seen.
These deserve a much wider audience, Dan.
