elks and me

With the onset of winter, elks come back to us. They return to the pinewoods. We have a lot of young pine afforestation here, which elk like very much. Yesterday, just before sunset, crossing a dirt road, we first noticed only the head of a elk with large antlers. When we approached the hill there were two elks, one adult and the other very young. First, I took some photos from the car. When I left and wanted to gather a bit and take pictures from a different angle, the animals started to escape slowly. After a few minutes they hid in a pine forest. It was an unexpected but also a pleasant meeting. It’s worth having your photographic equipment with you.
