Snowing hard tonight - it was 22 below zero at my house yesterday!

Jaime,

This gives me so much pleasure to see such photography and beauty shared. The camera does this so uninvasively!

Thanks,

Asher

BTW, what is the purple plant on the lower left? Is it heather?

i have to say, job well done on this one. elk are extremely smart creatures and even more difficult to find in the wilderness. how many days of tracking did it take to get this photo (no locations, please. hate to tip off the head hunters)?
 
Beautiful shot of a beautiful animal. They are wonderful. You are very lucky to be living in such a place. While living in Colorado ourselves, we visited Rocky Mountain National Park many times just to watch and especially to listen to their bugle echoing through the valleys. A number of the mountain golf courses I played also had large numbers of them wandering on and off of the course and they would actually get quite uncomfortably close.

Very nice Jaime.

We don't have elk here. They tried to re-introduce caribou a few years ago but lost them all. I wish it had worked.

It was 41 deg below zero here one morning last week. Its been running 22 to 24 below zero mornings. Funny when 8 deg seems warm. I hate winter, but the snowmobile rs love it.
