so sit back and enjoy (at least i hope you enjoy anway!!)

elk grazing next to ranch horses
was paying so much attention to the horses
that it took me a few minutes to notice the herd of elk behind them.

typical stupid visitor getting too close to the wildlife while trying to get a picture of two moose.
(hard to see..one moose is above him to left in bushes and the other is almost even to his right)
the moose on the right was walking right at him and would not think twice about
chasing him down and hurting/killing him.  what is also so stupid is that this person had a
expensive camera on a tripod which means he could have just as easily taken great
shots with his zoom lens from a safe distance.  if a park ranger saw this, the visitor
would have walked away with not only a few pictures of a moose, but also a very
expensive citation.  we see people do this all the time.

this mother moose had a 2 day old baby just on the other side of the bushes behind her.
she kept it hidden pretty good.  we never did get to see her, but heard from quite a few
other people that had passed by other days, that the baby was out and about.
