We recently took a weekend road trip. It was nice to get away for a few days and simply enjoy the beauty that our Creator has fashioned for us to see! On Saturday, while parked down at a creek at the base of a rather steep hill, we spotted 2 mountain goats grazing calmly. My husband and his brother, wanting a closer look at the goats, decided to hike up the hill and come down on them, hoping for some nice pictures! What the boys didn't realize was how steep the hill was nor how rough the terrain was! But they made it up there safely and as you can see by the pics below, they were able to get a good fairly close up one of the goat =) The other thing the boys didn't know was that a black bear also wanted a closer look at the mountain goat! =) So on the way back down the hill, they "ran into" a small black bear and were able to take pictures of that too! From about 5 yards away! As the boys were descending, my husband exclaims rather excitedly "we have a cliff in our front and a bear on our tracks" LOL!! But they were able to get down safe and sound and we were all happy and on our way back to the town again! =)
Pics of a beautiful flower that my husband took time to take, knowing that I would enjoy it!! =)
Isn't this a neat shot?
The mountain goat...
This is a pic of the terrain they were hiking through, just to give you an idea.... looks rough, doesn't it? I was wanting to go along on the hike too but the more I thought about it, the more I figured I better stay back and look out for the little one growing inside me =) And after my husband returned from the hike and was seated in the car, he said it was a good thing I didn't go due to the rough terrain.
Ok, there REALLY is a black bear in the photo... see him on the ridge line near the center of the pic? I can't blame the boys for not wanting to get closer...
There he is again...
