Taken at the San Luis NWR Friday morning. The air was filled with the squeeling sounds of Elk...

Sept. is rut season for the elk......I've been dying to go camping in Colorado where the mating call echos through the mountains. Wonderful photograph, BTW.


Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

We left CO just as the rut was getting underway. But, you've gotten some great shots.

My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.
