Its been almost two months since I have been shooting, and by shooting I don’t mean pew pew, I am talking about the click click take a pic shooting.

This past Sunday, I went with my wife and some friends up to Rocky Mountain National Park in hopes of stirring my creativity when it comes to photography. I took quite a few great shots… Then I realized that I took almost 50 photos with no memory card in the camera! I was so mad at myself. Thankfully there was nothing too memorable that I missed. After coming back from Grand Lake over Trail Ridge road the elk started making their way out of the forest and out into the meadows. I remembered to put my memory card in this time! Here is what I captured…

There were dozens of elk on the Estes Park golf course around 6:30 as the sun was setting. I was lucky enough to capture a couple of bulls lightly sparing.

This fella was huge! However, he was not so big after crossing the river and the alpha bull ran him off!

This is by far my favorite photo of our little trip yesterday!

If you decide to watch the elk, make sure you are safe in doing so. Stay a safe distance away as the elk can be irritable and aggressive.
