I came home after work today to find a small group of bull elk bedding down in an open area in my neighborhood. I got my camera at the house and walked out to the herd. All are in velvet and look to be very healthy.

You can often see elk right in town walking down the street, even occasionally in downtown Loveland.

Shot with my Tair 3 300mm F4.5 Preset lens at F5.6 and my K20D.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
