Springtime in the Colorado Rockies

Springtime in the Rockies brings whole new life into the world. This spring and early summer we have been blessed with the time and energy to photograph Elk, Moose, Red Fox, and numerous bird species and their young. This young elk calf was photographed on a trip through the central Rockies of Colorado. It was hanging out in a nursery of several spotted elk calves while their mothers browsed nearby, always on the alert for danger. A gentle rain had just stopped, and the light was soft and mysterious. We quietly enjoyed the moment for some time before moving on our way, leaving them to their day. Retirement is good!
