Harem


Spent a lot of time in Eastern Washington during the Summer of 2010.  Imagine my awe (and delight!) when I descended Washington Pass one evening at dusk to find a herd of elk in a pasture!  I spent a good half hour watching them and taking photographs while the light quickly faded away, not knowing for sure if any of my shots would turn out until I downloaded them the next day.  

This bull elk and his harem definitely stole the show.
