The Kids Are Alright!

This week in SSC:

'Animals in black and white"

I happened to catch these kids at dinnertime on Wednesday. I think they're actually pygmy goats. They belong to my neighbors. I'll add another one below that I got on Thursday at a different neighbor's house. I didn't realize we had so many goats in the neighborhood! :))

...and for Sight and Sound:

"The Who" from their album "My Generation" (1965)

Goats are nosy and cheeky, one ate the buttons off my aunt's jacket once;-) Excellent mono captures with nice strong contrast.

Karen's Place ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Danke, Gudrun. They really are. I had goats growing up and they could be so cute and funny but dangerous too. One butted my pregnant sister in the stomach once. Luckily she was okay. I like seeing them from a distance now myself. :)

Lovely animal pictures. Nobody around here keeps goats, but when we had the farm a neighbour kept them for a while - they were always finding ways to escape.

Karen's Place ^club has replied to tiabunna ^club

Thanks, George. Oh yes, they are great escape artists and so strong too. And they will eat all your flowers and trees in a very short time. They're great if you need your land cleared. :))

I love goats, I have a friend who raises Algarvian goats, they are free in the serra, and back "home" every night.

Karen's Place ^club has replied to Xata ^club

I had to look them up and they are really pretty goats with some interesting horns.

This scene really suits the mono treatment, Super detail and a great range of tones. Love the expression of the one posing for you, Karen :-) A spot-on musical match. A goodie from way back then!

Thank you, Karen, for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

Karen's Place ^club has replied to Roger Bennion ^club

Thank you, Roger. That's high praise and I really appreciate it. :)

It's so interesting to see Roger Daltry with short hair. I always think of his curly locks.

WONDERFUL!! Great pictures, both of them! We have zillions of goats around here, I simply adore them! They make me laugh with their silly antics. Thanks for sharing!

Karen's Place ^club has replied to Janet Brien ^club

Thanks, Janet. They are silly animals and I've known some with a good sense of humor. I love the kids especially.

Good shot with that lens. You need a steady hand or a tripod, and the light from an arc welder to make sure there is enough light for it. Good, clear exposure.

Karen's Place ^club has replied to Puchinpappy ^club

Lol, thanks,Pappy! :D

I can thank the amazing image stabilization in my G9. You can get some great low light hand held shots with this camera. The reach of this lens is worth trying.

5 years ago.

Puchinpappy ^club has replied to Karen's Place ^club

I have that lens. I will be interested to see how your handheld results go while getting closer to 300mm. If the G9 can handle that while handheld, I will be duly impressed.

Challenge noted and accepted, sir. :)

Nice shot, Karen! Everytime I think of a funny saying to describe your picture, that also happens to be a song title, you have already picked that same song I was thinking of! We must have a very similar taste in music. Did you ever see The Who's movie called "The Kids Are All Right?" Great film.

5 years ago.

Karen's Place ^club has replied to HaarFager ^club

I think we do, Kenny. It's funny how that happens. :)

I never did see that movie, only "Tommy".
