Can I HELP You???
We had Elk visitors this morning….there were 5 of them, all ladies, just wandering through the neighborhood in the morning sun, munching on grass, finding all the new green sprigs they could….Estes Park, Colorado. They are looking rather scruffy this time of year, as their winter coats start to be replaced by their more sleek, summer coats….
You might think I would get tired of taking pictures of them, but I never do….I hope my childlike fascination with them does not get boring to you all…..

Love this—the grass stems hanging from the sides of her mouth are hilarious, but she has so much dignity and it wouldn’t be nice to laugh!
