These male Elk seemed ok with sharing the title “king of the hill” this afternoon although it seems certain that will not be the case this fall.

Peeking in on a well hidden Bull and Cow elk who were enjoying a bit of afternoon sunshine in the golden fall fields. Those warming rays must fell darn good these days as nights have gotten colder than normal these last few weeks.

Did you wash behind your ears?

These kids made it through kindergarten and are now on to first grade. Elk and mule deer that were only Fawns and calves just a short time ago are heading into winter as the first snows have hit the ground.

A young mule deer wondering what this white stuff is all about.

An elk calf ponders their next move just a short time ago when the plants still were rich with green.

Perhaps a few leaves from this wild rose will do.

Good luck kids and we hope you make it to second grade next spring.

Happy weekend to all.

A Fine looking Bull Elk peeking out from the sagebrush on an early October day. Eating all he can before the rut begins in earnest. We wish him well and a bit of luck when needed.

River Crossing

Photographing wildlife from a moving kayak is fun but the results are always uncertain due to the movement of the river and the subject. Luck happened to be on our side as we watched this elk in Grand Teton National Park.
