We had visitors from the UK: old friends from university days who I hadn’t seen for over 20 years. The had said that they liked to walk so I took them on a selection of walks in the Hudson Valley. On one of the walks we went down the Old Croton Aqueduct trail to Rockwood Hall.

An area had been fenced off and a sign indicated that they are using goats and sheep to control invasive plant species and sure enough inside the enclosure were a number of goats. Either out of curiosity or because they thought we had food the entire group ambled over towards us. This particular one put his legs up on the wall surrounding our end of the enclosure thus giving me the opportunity to take this shot.
