These elk greeted me on the way out of Spring Creek Basin. If they look “hazy” or dim, that’s because of the blowing snow.
Mostly cows and last year’s calves, but one young bull was with them.
Mama and youngster check in with each other before they follow the group over the hill.
Here, I think they were watching some mustangs I couldn’t see because of a hill to my right.
Note that this was a snow wave after the earlier/overnight big snow (the 2 inches or so) had already mostly melted. What you see is starting to semi-stick again.
That wave didn’t last long … and neither did the semi-stuck snow. 🙂
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
Every bit counts!
True that!
I think the elk are cute! Love their fuzzy coats! Glad for the snow!
I don’t very often see big groups, so it was nice to see these gals (mostly gals). 🙂 Very glad for the snow … that’s straight moisture that seeped right into the soil.
What a bunch of beautiful girls! And babies! And guy! These are wonderful photos, TJ. Something about that blowing snow adds an ethereal aire to the scene. Very pretty.
Ha. 🙂 I know what you mean about the snow adding to the scene (otherwise, they’re a bit out of focus, I think!). 😉
It poured last night – snow melting more and more. So glad you got some white stuff.
I’m sure we arent done with it yet! Even though my maple tree has buds on it!!
I read recently that the East has gotten pounded with snow and cold temps while we out West are the exact opposite. My apricot tree already is budding. …
We have had four or five days of 60-70 degrees temp – sunny! My plants are starting to show up & the leaves on the trees are sprouting!
TODAY it was 40 early on & supposed to get colder again.
Spring was really nice tho!!!
