If you look at the date and time on all but one of the following photos, you will see that they are all taken within a few days from each other. To view them you will also notice that they are taken with the same camera. These have to be gifts from God. Presents that we would not otherwise know. How wonderful is that?

This first buck has been a regular visitor all summer. We no longer name the bucks because we are not sure that they will survive hunting season. It's not a good idea to get attached, then see the animal destroyed or missing and know they didn't make it. We have learned to enjoy them while we can and hope for the best.

I wonder what these two will grow up to be and if they will continue to grace us with their presence as they grow. My other neighbor told me she saw them with a cow elk one morning and wondered where their momma was when they wandered off with the elk.

Is this cow elk stretching or did she hear a noise and straining to see what's lurking in the shadows? It's hard to tell what is on her mind, but all of these animals find this a great stopping point on a well traveled trail. Usually the female elk are seen in groups. So this picture poses questions. Is this a loner or did the rest of the group just pass or are they coming up behind her. By comparing the pictures on this page you can estimate the size of the critters.

This is my favorite of Brenda and David's recent pictures. It looks like a buck looking into a mirror. Of course it's two bucks caught perfectly, you can tell by their antlers, but at first glance it really looks like a mirror image. I think it is an awesome picture.
We have not been home for several weeks, but that is about to change. I cannot wait to get back and check my cameras. I won't hope for pictures this good, but I can't wait to discover what was happening while I was away. More gifts from God, pictures taken when no one is looking. How cool is that? Being away sure makes me appreciate what I have at home in NEWA.
P.S. Make sure you click on the pictures to get a really good look.
