Daily Photo: No pictures, please!

Filed Under: Photography

Let’s start this week off with some hilarity, shall we? (the title of this one just cracks me up)

So I went to Rocky Mountain National Park on Saturday morning. When I left the house, it wasn’t my intention, but I couldn’t find the place I was trying to visit (Bobcat Ridge) so rather than turn around and get directions, I kept driving until I hit the road to Estes Park. From there, it was just a 45 minute hair-raising drive up the canyon and into the park.

Estes has some amazing views, but I am not much of a landscape photographer. I’m there for the animals. I saw exactly three species while there. Ground squirrels, magpies, and elk. Lots and lots of elk. Dozens of them. So you’re gonna get some elk photos this week. I hope you like them.

Bonus Photo: Weird Elk

Filed Under: Photography

This is one weird looking elk, I have to say. It looks more like a llama than an elk. That it’s losing its winter coat doesn’t help with the sad, pathetic look. I’m sure it’s fine though. I don’t think that’s mange or CWD or anything. Most of the elk this weekend were shedding off it’s winter coats. Still, makes for one weird photograph.

Resting Dragon

Dragon flies are big enough that I can take some very high magnification shots of their faces. They look so unusual at this scale, but quite beautiful, in my opinion.
