Having Rocky Mountain National Park in my backyard (well almost) is a great blessing. One of my favorite places to photograph is Sprague Lake. I love the play of early morning light on the water. After shooting a series of photos one morning last fall, I headed back to our car. Suddenly I heard the bugle of a bull elk and I turned to see him wading across the lake. I ran back and snapped about 10 shots of the bull making his way to the shore. What a delight to photograph this magnificent creature!  |

“In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die.” --
Ernest Hemingway, The Complete Short Stories
"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.'" John 11:25-26

DeleteWow, now that not something you see everyday (well for me anyway) this is simply stunning. It is as if he has has his photo taken many times before, and is actually posing for you.
ReplyDeleteA beautifully captured image
Shaun, I am completely convinced that the elk here love to have their picture taken. I don't know if its elk vanity or they're just going along with it all. But for some reason they often just stand and wait until I'm done. Pretty funny.
DeleteThat is so beautiful! The photo was captured perfectly!
ReplyDeleteVisiting for Wordless Wednesday! Hope you can stop by:)
