The Estes Park e-Welcome Center . I managed to snap a picture of these does and this young spike from the deck behind my office, overlooking the back yard. The snow from last week is melted and the grass is still green and tasty.
Days are sunny and temperatures are mild - perfect sweatshirt weather.
The elk rut is over and this fellow is showing the signs of a challenging season. He has lots of ruffles in his coat and he's missing his right rack. Ah well, it'll all smooth out and grow back next spring.
