This time of year in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, you might hear a high pitched whistle coming from the alpine meadows. It is the sound of a bull elk calling to claim his harem and challenge other bulls. The sound makes me think of autumn campfires and coyote cries taking me to another era in time, one long long ago. My spirit craves this and I find myself wandering with the herd keeping watch and feeling alive. Sights sounds smells mingle in the primal musk of procreation and life. Nature continues.

I miss this time of year in the Rockies but your photos helped bring back the memories. I love that second one!
ReplyDeleteWow they are beautiful. How nice to have so much wildlife around you.
ReplyDeleteThe horns of these deers are similar to the Barasingha deer found here in India. In Hindi language "Barasingha" means 12 horned. Really nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow! Are these ever cool! I especially love Elk Flower - what a great capture. They're all amazing!
