Another boondocking surprise . . . .
While sitting inside the Best Little Trailer reading the many, positive comments about the elk photos in the previous post, I happen to look up and out the side window at the great, green meadow that sweeps out from the forest.
Oh, my! What is that I see?
I run outside, camera in hand. They’re elk! I set the camera for distance and zoom it as far as it will go. This is so much fun!
Okay, here’s the deal . . .
At the risk of overdosing you on elk photos, I’m posting the newest batch in this photo essay. Look at it this way — If I show them to you here and now, I won’t be tempted to glom up a future blog entry putting elk photos all over it.
This herd of elk is more sedate than the herd I saw yesterday.
Or maybe it’s the same elk and they’re worn out from cavorting around that pond. Maybe the head honcho elk said, “You’ll quit fooling around and graze, if you know what’s good for you.”
Photo 1
These photos, like the ones posted previously, were taken from a great distance at dusk. I only had a few moments to capture the elk before they moved behind a wall of evergreens.
This next shot looks like a watercolor.
I jazzed up the color.
Photo 2
I like the wide and narrow frame on the next one. Softer color, too. They almost look like donkeys.
“No! They’re ELK! They aren’t donkeys and they aren’t deer. They’re ELK. Got it, RVSue?”

Sagebrush gives more blue tones in the photo below. I think it’s interesting how forms in nature arrange themselves into compositions that are pleasing to the human eye. (What a nerd.)

What the elk does this have to do with RVing!
Having fun on the road, that’s what. I saw (or at least, recognized) an elk for the first time at age sixty-five. I’ve see my first two herds in the span of two days. I’m going stark-raving, elk crazy!

Just for fun . . . .
Choose the photo you like the best and tell us in a comment (Click on title of post to open comments.) If you hate every single one of them and wish I get back to the dadgum, regular programming . . . well, don’t tell me. It might hurt my feelings.
Seriously, I’ll try very hard not to post any more elk photos. As for butterflies? I’m not making any promises!
