Enjoying the beauty of Glacier National Park

ContemplationGlacier Bighorn Sheep

As you can tell by the first picture, I spent my summer training mountain goats in Glacier National Park.  I got quite good at it.  I had that goat sitting there for several minutes while I lined up and took the picture.  Or maybe I just came around the bend and found him sitting there…I forget.  Either way, I like the shot.  I have a few more from when he stood up and looked at me.

The second picture is of the same group of bighorns I saw the day before.  This time they were sitting up on a ledge sunning themselves.  I had to wait a while for one of the big ones to get up and look out over the pass like he is in the image.  It’s too bad my lens wasn’t longer so I could have gotten a closer shot.

This mountain goat kid was probably photographed quite a bit this summer.  Both times I went to Glacier, the baby and its mother were hanging around Logan Pass.  They are pretty accustom to having people around so I could get quite close without disturbing them.
