Evans' Goats
Here's an image from Sunday from Mt. Evans. It was a great day for shooting, with plenty of goats and good weather. I had the pleasure of meeting Dan Walters for the first time — after admiring his work here for so long. I wish I had just a tad more image on the right side of the frame. It's not often that a 300 is "too tight" in wildlife photography.

One more image. I call this one "With a Song in My Heart." The goat was actually yawning, but in this frame he looked rather musical.

The first one is nice, the second one is Outstanding! Great expression.

Randall, the ONLY person who is going to think your first image needs more room on the right is you. Everyone else, me included, will marvel at its magnificence. You guys with these goats-amongst-flowers shots are killing me!

Great meeting you too! Like the wildflowers among the goats in the first image. Great expression in the second!

Man, I couldn't agree more!
Both of these are fantastic.

Great shots! I like how the first one shows so dramatically the shedding of the winter coat.

I think Dan and I must have been standing right next to you that day. Love the flowers with the goats to add a little pop of color.

Beautiful shots. Joining the chorus, the flowers and the changing coat really enhance them.

We were up there last Monday. Those goats are putting on some show.

Nice work Randall! I like the family feeling of the forstone and the second one is awesome timing!
