Great picture. With a look like that from him though, I think I'd be backing away slowly. I'm not sure if he's offended you just took a picture of his hind end, or if he's just generally annoyed with life at the moment. The whole picture is peaceful, but you can sure see some power and attitude in his face! #261952Virginia L. Allison June 13, 2005
Thank you Sara. I am anxious to see him in October when his antlers are full grown. Thanks for the kind words. #1465468Susana Ms Heide July 23, 2005

Excellent shot. Congrats on finalist :) #1629773Elisabeth A. Gay July 24, 2005
Congratulations Virginia, you got a great shot here, and what a marvellous place to live!!Virginia L. Allison July 24, 2005
L.C and Elisabeth, Thank you both for the comments and for stopping by my gallery. Elisabeth, I am not lucky enough to live there, we own a vacation rental there, this boy was in our yard when we went up to mow and clean for the next quests. We actually live about 2 1/2 hours from there. It is a beautiful area and the elk are amazing animals. Thanks much both of you. #1632206Mary K. Robison July 24, 2005
