🦌 This weekend I took a day trip down through Paradise Valley and into Yellowstone to check out the September scenery. It was a spectacular day for a drive, and these lovely spike elk even made an appearance near Gardiner. They were a delight to photograph.They browsed for food near each other for quite some time, and then approached one another and began to gently play. One of the young bull elk even opened his mouth and let out a very quiet bugle. Someday these two will be a part of the rut and practice is everything! Here are a few of my favorites from these guys.
