Hard Winter

2008.02.10



We went for a drive today. We didn't have to go far to see the wildlife They have come down in the valley and town looking for food. It has been a hard winter for them. We usually see a few deer here and there but this year they are every where. We usually don't see too many elk down and there seem to be quite a few of them as well. Poor things are very thin. Sorry they are not the best pictures as I did not have a tripod.

paintbox These are very nice pictures. I can't imagine the elk being down so low so you could photograph them. Good title, too.

sunshineand i like the way the antlers on the first photo kind of blend in with the trees.

SheriJ I think these are great!! What a rack that guy has in the 1st one! I have a phobia to tripods . I only use tripods for landscape shots other than that it stays in the car! Tripods make me fussy.. We have had a hard winter in the southern part of the state our fish and game people have been dropping food from helicopters to feed nearly 20,000 deer and elk.

tbranscum Beautiful rack in that first picture. It is such a shame that they are hungry. Hopefully weather will break soon and they will be fine.

TheCrazyCroat These are awesome. I cannot believe you can go on a drive and see such gorgeous creatures.

MHJphotos Awesome shots! I'm afraid its going to be a tough winter for a lot of animals this year. Hopefully the lowlands will bring them some food, and some respit from the unrelenting winter!

ElanorDawn How on earth did you manage not to frighten the deer! They are usually so fretful creatures. Wow!

sullyde You are very lucky to have such beauty so close. Thanks for sharing

cobaltbutterfly Very nice pictures. It's always exciting to see wild animals. I never get us used to them that I take them for granted. I believe this winter has been hard on all of them in our part of the country. I guess the water will be nice in the spring.

davidcardona Nice. I added first one into my favorites. Thanks for sharing!

Jannie I think you did a great job! It;s hard to watch nature in action sometimes, I would want to feed them!
