As fall descends in Yellowstone and the Tetons,
painting the trees golden-yellow,
the elk are rutting,
bugling,
and posturing.
They become so exhausted by all this effort, they bugle while resting!
The calves,
and does,
provide a peaceful contrast!
Cheers to you from the Tetons in the fall~

As Autumn comes in town those in the industrial sites and cities can only dream of the changing beauty of the countryside. For sure they miss a lot.

Look at those mountains, and the trees. This is the natural beauty that Ansel Adams fell absolutely in love with.
Yes indeed. Ansel was a genius. I wonder what he would make of the all the ecosystem destruction since he was taking photos.
We have wild elk on Sequim.
I have seen the Rosevelt Elk in Washington up on Hurricane Ridge. Beautiful and a bit smaller than these big Wyomming ones. Do the elk like your donkeys? Or just their food! 😉
I never have Elkhart on our farm thank God. My fences can’t take it. Just down the road in Sequim
Just as well. I can imagine they would wreck havoc with your garden and then during mating season, with you!

Some of these photos seem like paintings! Gorgeous animals and glorious photos, Cindy 🙂
Awww, your kindness touches my <3 Christy. Thank you!
Wow – beautiful clicks. You must be very patients to capture the different moods of elk. They can be so shy it’s not easy to get closer. Happy travelling.
Thanks so much. I get into ‘the zone’ around wild creatures. Time tends to disappear დ
