I finally got my goat. I have been wanting to get a proper goat photo to go on the blog for quite some time now, but it has taken me awhile.
Mr. Goat's Lunch Pail and I took a trip up the Icefields Parkway to Jasper last Friday and were blessed by many bear sightings and a small herd of goats. Mr. Goat took care of getting the bear pictures and I'll be posting them at some point.
Said caprines were nuzzling the gravel at the pull out. The point of the trip was to get goat pics and we'd expected to find them at a salt lick along the highway near Mt. Kerkeslin close to Jasper. It's so common to see them there it's listed on tours.
Instead we found them on the way home and much further south. It was after 7 p.m. and the sun was getting low behind the mountains which gave some interesting back lighting.
I was thrilled to get these pictures.

Lovely critter, Leah. No.. kidding! ;)
All *kidding* aside, love the photos of the goats. The kid especially....
Hilary and dfBag Lady, glad you like the pics.
Wow, great pics!
Those are really cute goats. Fuzzier than I would have thought!
Thanks, Crabby. Goats are very fuzzy.
Baby goats! How cute! I have only seen them at a petting zoo. :-(
At least you've seen them, Missicat. That said, wildlife in the wild is better.
I'm back because judging by the comments, I missed something. Originally, all I saw in the way of photos was the avitar. The page never loaded the two larger pics. That second one is a particularly beautiful photo. The kid stands outs beautifully. Great job!
Thanks, Hilary. I'm glad the page loaded for you this time.
That's happened to me, too. It's both odd and frustrating.
Oh, wow wow wow! I just love the mountain goats. Such gorgeous creatures! You got great pictures of them!
Yes, they are gorgeous, TL. I was so blessed to get this pics and I'm so glad they're a hit.
Lovely photos Leah. I especially like the last one, the light is wonderful and the kid is so cute!
It was after 7 p.m. so the sun was low and hitting them at a wonderful angle. I'm very pleased with that kid pic too, but the top one with the goat looking back is my favourite.
