After an awesome workshop with my fearless OLLI writers, and a Zoom Viva la Vino Iowa State University Women’s Club gathering, I needed a walk. My neck hurt from sitting. Avy, always game, went with me. Serendipitously we walked to the Avy trail, which butts up to the Kit Carson National Forest.
Just the two of us, we were quiet. And because of that, we didn’t scare the look-out Elk who was casing the forest to call coast clear to the elk waiting to hop the fence to hightail it to our pasture.
The elk in my photos are faint, which is to say, I gotta take my Nikon and zoom lense out of their case. Next dusk hike, I’m going to go early, hide in the brush and wait and see if I can catch me some up-close-and-personal elk photos.
