Canon EOS 7DII, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM, 1/80 Sec at f/14, ISO 125. Mountain Goats call the Beartooth mountains home. I found this band of nannies and kids laying in the high alpine flowers. They live in the rocky peaks where in the winter sometimes 30 ft drifts can accumulate on the ridges and plateaus.

A beautiful goat-scape, Mike! Great that you captured these goats in their native mountainous habitat. The various layers in the scene provide a nice feeling of depth.  Great job!
