[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I climbed MT Ellinor in Washington State on Friday. It was my first summit of the year and it did not disappoint. I left home around 4:30 AM and reached the trail head around 6:00 AM. From there it is about a two hour hike if you are in shape. Once at the top I found six goats. MT Ellinor Goats are used to people and will come right up to you if you let them. Here are a few of the shots...

    What a great set of pictures! How much did you have to pay the goats to pose for you like that? :D

    And I just love that picture of the unattended backpack!

    Great images, the expresions of the goats in some of the images is almost human. a bonus on top of what must be some beautiful scenery also.
    I don't know where I'm goin, but I'm goin anyway.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    They do the same thing on NBC 5 here in Chicago. I've sent in 3 that they didn't see fit to show. They must have better taste in Seattle! :D

    Very nice set! I'm partial to #9. I enjoy when they seem to look directly at you.
    C&C always welcome. I can't learn if I don't know what I've done wrong or could do better.
