Photo Hunt ~ Furry


Photo Hunt #147: Furry was almost too easy of a theme for me. I had quite a few photos that would fit, just had to choose which one. I finally decided to go with this baby mountain goat that I was able to get some shots of in Glacier National Park.



This image was made in mid-summer. The goats have to have a thick coat of fur to survive the frigid temps later in the year. By winter this little guy would have been much furrier.

  6. Very nice example of furry. Cheese comes to mind for some reason, but cheese couldn't be furry, could it?

  19. That was my closest encounter ever with mountain goats. And yes, the mom was right nearby. She was keeping a wary eye on me. I used a zoom lens to get this shot. And Glacier NP is a beautiful place to visit. This was during the first few days of July and my children had a snowball fight on a glacier that day.
