Salad for supper (thanks, but I'm just browsing)

 

It doesn't take long for them to decide I'm not much of a threat.  The kids dig right back in to supper, but mom keeps a wary eye on me.  She turns to keep me in sight, but doesn't bother to relocate her family, even when the trail switches back and carries me just a few yards below them.  I set a steady pace and stay on the trail.  The goats are soon swallowed in the trees behind me.
