I adore this picture! What is the story here- where were you and how’d you get so close to such shy creatures? Or did you just have a very powerful zoom? Chanah
Thanks for the kind words and no I didn’t have a powerful zoom! I was on a hike with a friend on Quandary Peak near Breckenridge, Colorado and farther up the trail we noticed a mountain goat with a kid. We waited behind some rocks and they came right up to us, checked us out and then walked away. For the whole series of photos, check out these two links:

I wrote these to try and win some paintings of a goat from craigslist. I did not win. But here are some haikus about goats.
The billy goat was
full of vapid wonderment
ate my grandma’s purse
The eye of the goat
will never be a film name
but it ought to be
goat’s milk is handy
for my lactardation
diarrhea-free
Goats will climb tall peaks
Moroccan goats can climb trees
have you seen them jump?
I have never seen
Goats make a vertical jump
lack of spring tension
in the world of goats
even the ladies have beards
goat androgyny
Also in goat world
Ladygoats have little horns
goat equality
often i’ve wondered
can the Jews eat the goat meats?
Leviticus hooves
Bighorn’s not a goat
but nevertheless still my
favorite goatish thing
the pupils of goats
are always dilated
let the sunshine in
looking at goat teeth
i think “man, those look human.”
omnivores unite
goat society
must have some strict rules
goats do not eat goats
incredulity
looking a goat in the face
is all i can see
goats can take a poo
every 2.4 hours
Google told me that
in my opinion
goat roles were too limited
in the movie “Babe”
my cousins have pets
two of them are fainting goats
don’t actually faint
