Elk Calf

My little guy and I were on a walking path on
the benches of the mountain
when we started to follow a small trail through the trees
about 10 feet back.
Not wanting to go any further we turned around and saw this.
It was sound asleep at first but our movement woke it up.
It was about 10 feet away from us.
It just stayed there and stared. I had no idea
where the mother was
or would not be able to see it coming before it was too late,
so we left pretty quickly.
It was so sweet.
I have never seen a baby elk before.
It was exciting to see it in the wild.

Baby Bunny

This is one of my favorite places to be.
Bagnell Dam area.
Beautiful all year round, but especially in the Summer months.

Driving along a back dirt road this cute,
really tiny one ran across in front of us.

Of course the pictures don't do it justice,
but I could have easily cupped it in my hands.

Bottle Feeding The Calf

4 day old calf.
This poor little guy was a twin and the mother chose the other one.

It was so fun to get to help bottle feed it though.

Look how tiny he is next to my little guy.
