I would have said winter but I'm resisting that phrase for now. Just because we had snow the other day and it was the second earliest snowfall....ever, here. Just say'n. I was sealing a painting the other day and left it on the patio to dry and when I came out this was on it
one of my Newfies
had strolled across, yes Drummer, of course. Later that day I was headed down to Denver and this big boy crossed in front of my car
he looks little and far away here but actually he was about 10 feet from my car. Elk are pretty self assured and little ruffles their feathers, unless it's rutting season, which it is, you can run across them in small skirmishes this time of year. Just make sure you don't get in the middle.
