Back Door Friends Are the Best

Lately I've been out of the blogging loop while I work on a writing assignment. However, I did take the time to snap a few shots of this extraordinarily friendly fellow after the big May 1 snowfall we received.  He came right up to my back door and posed for me.

 

I wanted to share it with Weekly Top Shot as it is not only my top shot this week, but truly a once in a life time shot. 

 

A special thanks to Mr. Elk for being such a good sport.

What?

 

Another elk in the snow photo.

 

 I don't know why, but the second elk looking up just struck me as so funny. What is she looking at?

 

The tree branch?

 

The falling snow?

 

 

Or is she just day dreaming?

 

 

I tend to apply human characteristics to animals.

 

 

Maybe she's just an elk looking up for no particular reason.

 

 

But I don't think so.

Snowbound

 

 

 

 

I like this photo taken through our front window  because there's blue sky behind the icicles.

 

Which is nice.

 

Because it means, for now at least, it's not snowing.

 

Three feet of snow in three days and I've been housebound.

 

Here's a summary of my rural life this week.

 

I watched my car slowly disappear from view.

 

 

I watched the elk descend from the mountain,

through our homestead and cross the street.

(Yes, that is a For Sale sign in our yard.

We put our house on the market this week.

And no, we're not sure where we moving to. Yet.

But I'm hoping for someplace that doesn't snow in April.)

 

 

 

I watched my husband brave the elements and attempt to dig us out.

 

 

 

 

 I cooked.

 

 

 

 

 

 I baked.

 

 

 

 

 

I baked some more.

 

 

 

And I took photographs.

 

I think I need to make a trip to the store for more flour before it starts snowing again.
