Description
Several of you wonderful 'osity members asked me to post some more elk shots - the lighting on this one is not as nice as the other; but I'm a lot closer :-) scary sometimes as this was during the rut and elk get careless, so you can get closer, but they are also more aggressive. As you can see this is a bigger, badder, older elk.
Thank you all for being so kind and for using so much of your valuable time to view and comment on my artistic spasms. I value you all highly. Your talents amaze me and constantly take my breath away. Thank you!
