Jester is the most fun-loving member of the herd. ..The Goats of Roan began with the Baa-tany Goat Project. The goats spent summers alongside the Appalachian Trail on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina, grazing on the balds of the Roan Mountain Highlands. The rest of the year they spent on their farm in beautiful Shady Valley, Tennessee. The Project came to an end in 2016 and the project's scientific papers were prepared.. .This year I spent time with them on their Shady Valley farm where they grazed on a grass-covered steeply sloped field with woods as a backdrop. Each morning they would graze in the field and then as the temperature rose would head into the woods. ..I fell in love with this character. As I was photographing I was thinking about the joy a simple smile can bring. .
