For Marian: Gredos baby.

For Marian: Gredos baby. (capra pyrenaica)

(almost) the first steps of a baby under the attentive look of his proud mother.

Gredos (spanish) ibex. Laguna grande. Sierra de Gredos. July 2008.
High mountain.


The stripes on the granite in the background have been made by the glaciers in the ancient times.
Scientific name
capra pyrenaica
:eek!: Oh My! What a delightful newborn, so young and tender!!! :bounce: Brilliant scene with "on the alert" Mum and her kid, Bernard, loads of huge thanks, I love it to biiiiiiiiiiits!!!! ;) :clap: :clap:

Allow me to remark how surprisingly similar seem to be our outings to the mountains, coming across the same wildlife even if we don't visit the same places... lovely parallelism!!! ;) And loved our exchange of baby-Ibex!!!
 
Thank you very much,Deanne,Tony and Marian :t:

Glad you like "Baby and his mother",Marian :t:...and I agree with your comment ;)
Have you noticed the two tiny white points on his forehead: the future place for the horns ;)
 
Noooooooo!!! :eek!: I didn't see them this morning... I must have been still too sleepy! ;) But I see them now! :t: Thank you for the cute remark, Bernard!!!
 
I guess they have to learn how to safely climb that rocky terrain,Bernard. No wonder Mum has to be close to him the first days. Nice and lovely capture. :t:
