In my previous fishing expeditions I have been accompanied by
Deer, Elk, Moose, Bears, Dolphins, Hammerhead and other species of Sharks and
even a Whale Shark but this companion raised the bar to a new high, maybe even unsurpassable.
My Good Friend Dick and I were fishing on Friday the 13th
(July 13, 2012) and we were accompanied by an Oreamnos americanus, also known
as a Rocky Mountain Goat. This was very exciting for me as this is the closest I
have ever been to one, outside a zoo. He/she was posing as if he/she was expectantly
awaiting the camera click.
But, due to my excitement and fumbling I could not seem to get my camera
out of my vest fast enough. By the time I got my s#*t together and got the
camera in position, our friend had enough of my fumbling and started ambling
off. As usual I was not prepared so the pix by the creek are the dismal result.
Eventually our friend ventured out of the woods and who I followed
like a puppy chasing an ice cream cone, onto the adjacent road which gave me
another chance for a photo-op. The aforementioned friend apparently felt sorry
for me and struck an appropriate pose thus allowing allowed me to capture said
friends photo.
BY THE WAY THE FISHING WAS NOT TOO BAD EITHER!!
A GREAT DAY BY ANY MEANS!!!!!!!!!!
