If you look closely, you will see a small herd of Navajo goats resting under a tree on the side of a canyon wall in Canyon de Chelly (zoomed view below, click for larger size).
They must have a good view from up there. Shade and probably a nice breeze too!
I suspect there is water there too-at least a lot of moisture! That is really beautiful what a great place to explore!
ReplyDeleteI too was worrying about where the goats got a drink -- perhaps they take moisture from the greenery. And I'm sure they aren't permanently exiled on that ledge.
ReplyDeleteI bet they walk those little ledges and cliffs all the way down.. Looks like their ideal playground.. I have to figure out why your blog isnt in my updates.. I am not getting that you post a blog at all..
ReplyDeleteTree, Grannyj, Tonia -- I'm pretty sure they just trot on down the ridge whenever they feel like to get to the canyon floor for water from the farms, and a lot of the year there are pools of water in parts of the sandstone as well.
ReplyDeleteSure looks like a nice place for them to hangout!
