Bull Elk

Bull Elk  Our day in Yellowstone was getting short.  The late afternoon sun was hidden behind a mountain.  Lamar Valley can come alive with wildlife in late afternoon and we were almost there.  Coming around a bend in the road; my eagle-eyed sister-in-law noticed an Elk laying in the snow about 50 yards off the road.  Simple click.  Yes, I said snow.  Yellowstone has several inches of snow in the higher elevations.
