Every Step In Peace
This Bull Elk calmly strolled through the water at the shoreline of Lake Estes early this morning. Even though a man got ‘in his face’, moving toward him within 10 feet, he continued to walk without any signs of agitation…a wonderful reminder for me to take every step of my day in peace….

Wow! He looks magnificent! Very healthy and sleek. What a great reminder Jan. :o)
Must have been a tourist getting so close….. we have a few tourists here every season who get too close to the bison and end up getting gored. They don’t quite understand that these beautiful creatures are wild, not zoo animals!!
Jan Landers replied
thanks, jenny….he was amazing….and i’m not sure if it was a tourist or not…..just a man without much awareness, i say….but thankfully, the bull was not feeling his oats this morning…. ;-)
