Goat and granite wall (and no kidding!)

Goat and granite wall (and no kidding!)
I must be going mad! Not only do I take a shot of two ponies that magically appear as one, but I have done it again!! I KNEW I was witnessing a very cute kid suckling its mother. But it was finding it hard to get a purchase as the mother was positioned too close to the rocky ground and the wall. It was amusing watching it try to get into a good position (why it didn't come round this side is beyond me!). But when I came to look at the shot later... you guessed it; no sign of the kid! But I can assure you it is there, hidded behind mum and trying to balance on that raised stone.

What a delightful photo - I looked closely and I think I spotted the little kid's tail. I love the wall and the whole scenario really.

Not the kid, it simply moved just at the wrong time!

... really impressive shot when viewed "widescreen"; rock wall both sinuous and craggy ... on the back end of a rugged weekend, some see pink elephants; others see baby goats; maybe this ---> www.ipernity.com/doc/2254408/47935654 ...

Ha,ha, blink and they're gone..!!

Even with only one goat visible, this a splendid shot Andy.............I love the dry stone wall (for some reason they fascinate me) and the random rocks in front of it. Topped out nicely by a beautiful sky.

A wonderful shot even with no kid, Andy. The undulating wall adds interesting variation to an effective banded composition.

Thank you, Rosa!
I'm pleased you got the pun!
My Spanish students know the word kid as meaning any young person. When I explain that the true meaning of the word is a baby goat. they are incredulous!

why it didn't come round this side is beyond me! - photo shy of course! ;-)
I like the waves the wall draws.
And I like the pun as well.

I'm sure that is so, Leon!
Many thanks!
(When my students understand a pun of mine, I know they are paying attention and that they have a pretty good level of English!)
