Wild Creatures Of The Forest
During walk in the forest just south of the Grand Canyon after a downpour, I came upon four young bull elk grazing peacefully in a small clearing under a dark grey sky.
They looked at me and I stopped and sat down on a big rock to watch them.
Unconcerned, they went back to the business of mowing the grass.
After taking a few quick pictures, I continued my walk filled with a sense of wonderment.

That's pretty amazing! I can't imagine getting so close to an elk...the ones in Colorado are easily spooked. Maybe these aren't hunted?
Beautiful animal. You were given a gift for sure!
These are beautiful shots Judy. What a great sighting.
Compared to the common deer, elk are a rare and magnificent sight.
Oh excellent takes and what a
experience
for a walk.
Kindly aware of your presence.
Such encounters remain vivid for a long long time.
A memorable walk.
What an experience, and I am so happy that you captured them with your camera. So enjoy seeing them.
Wow what a great sight.
What a magnificent animal! Lucky you for the spotting, Judy. The top capture is fantastic!
Such magnificent creatures! The ox too.
