One upon a time I went hiking through the snow to take pictures of elk - hiding in the bushes so they wouldn't run away. This wasn't that time. This time I just hung out near the truck...so I wouldn't be too far away from my coffee and tasty snacks. mmmm...snacks.

I really do wish there was a way on steemit to center your images for the thumbnails....because i like the second image so much better.

These guys hang out all over Banff National park - but if you're lucky on the drive up to lake Minnewanka they'll be all over so that you can take some good pictures. It's as much of a guarantee of seeing wildlife as you're going to get.


If you like the photo drop me an updoot or a comment!

I really like your picture of the Elk. We went to Colorado a few months ago and we saw so many elk. I came into this small town and there was like six
large Elk hanging around the Senior Center and they where not scared of people at all. Keep the pictures coming jfolkmann.

Thanks much!
