Mountain Goat Nanny With Her Kid

By Sean Crane | Published March 7, 2013


I took this one a few year back in Colorado. Mount Evans is just about an hour from Denver and is accessed by the highest paved road in North America. More often than not when I go to this location, I see mountain goats. This mother, or nanny, seemed to be calling to her kid, letting the young one know that it was time to stop playing and time to go home before the rain.

      Thanks Rachel, I checked out your site today. Looking good. I really like your leaf shots, especially that well art directed arrangement.
