ELK


If you click on the photo you will be able to see it better.

So here in Paradise Valley we have lots and lots of elk. Lots of people have a hard time believing that I see as many at one time that I claim too. A month or so ago I counted 136 in one feild.

Today as I was going out to my car for work I looked out back and thought "I wonder why the cows are pasturing here so soon?" Then, "Holy Wow! They are elk!" There were only about 50 this morning though. It was really neat having them just behind our barn. They are such beautiful animals I think.

Unfortunately my cell phone does not zoom very well and unless your in the same room as the object of your photo the object looks to be far far away.

Tonight while getting ready for dinner Derrick said, "Wow, that's a lot of cows... are those Elk?!"

So I ran outside with the actual camera and because it is dumping snow our 8 year old camera wouldn't focus through the snow. grrrrrr!

So here is the best I can do for a picture... for now. This is the picture I took this morning. You can not see the elk in detail but you can see them.

And please take note of the games that the weather is playing with my emotions. This mornings picture shows sunshine and a dry feild. Tonight I couldn't take a decent photo because it is dumping snow.

That is so neat that you saw so many! Apparently we are supposed to have elk everywhere around our house but after a year I have yet to see one!! We just have deer that I am pretty sure Jett thinks they belong to him :)

I can truly say I am sorry about the weather! Yesterday was spring for us and today is supposed to be winter.....

I think your picture turned out great! My husband was on a hike and claims there was a moose 40 feet from him but his phone makes it look like it was a good 4000 feet from him haha
