On the way out today, Nils called to tell me there was herd of elk in the field by the Delphian School, about 5 miles from here. At that point I was still in my robe, sipping on my tea, but I threw on my clothes, grabbed the camera and was able to get a couple photos...nothing close because they were quite wary. But what a sight they are! Marvelous (as long as they aren't tromping through your garden or yard...or eating the winter's stash of hay you were using for your cattle or horses).... beautiful, massive (about horse-sized) creatures.
Nils hasn't seen elk around here for many years. This herd could find its way to our property as they have a large range that they occupy.
Don't forget to post comments during the month in order to be entered into the drawing for a piece of my art! Drawing is on April 1st. Each comment puts your name in the hat once again.
Off to the studio...

Oh, I can't believe it! A herd of elk, just wandering... I suppose it would be like seeing a big flock of kangaroos here in Australia but of course, someone else's wild animals always seem more amazing than your own.
So true, Carol. I would say the same thing about kangaroos if you posted a picture!
It is quite a sight to see a large herd like this! They are magnificent animals, especially as you say, if they are not eating your garden!
Indeed, Ruth!
