Early Morning Elk and Sunset

Nothing is more magical than waking up and finding a couple hundred very large elk sleeping on your property. Going out onto the deck the sounds of males clacking their antlers as they "fight" is a really neat sound but the females make a mewing sort of sound that doesn't sound like it would come from them! Not sure which I like better.

                                         

After the elk have gone over the ridge to the valley below, hours later, the skies offered up a beautiful sunset. Puerto Rico had wonderful sunsets...New Mexico had wonderful sunsets and in the winter months our Colorado house has wonderful sunsets.
