Welcome Wagon

Back in the park for the winter season, should be a good one. The Mammoth Hot Springs variation on a door greeter crossed the road in front of me not two hundred yards from my door. It`s good they aren’t much larger than a small horse!
Chilly

Nothing quite like that special kind of chilly here! It’s that time again.
Off the grid

Season’s over here at Mammoth Hot Springs, the elk know it and are reclaiming some of their favorite haunts. Me, I’m goin’ off the grid for a couple months – have fun all!
New Arrival

I’m only guessing at what’s on those tines, but this guy is laying back for now while a younger, smaller bull is displaying most of the activity and aggression – in the end I’m thinkin it’s all about attitude with the elk rut, and the younger bull has that in spades.
He has been so active that it’s been hard to get a shot of him, stays off the location during the day – probably to avoid the traffic he isn’t used to, then makes a nuisance of himself all night :(
Danger Seekers

This pair of danger seekers are within 10 feet of these elk, what they aren’t paying any attention to is the cow on the left – who it so happens has a calf close by. I’m guessing the rangers chased these two back just momments before she took care of doing so.
