Bugling Elk in a snow storm! - a photo on Flickriver

Bugling Elk in a snow storm!

            One of my favorite places to go within driving distance of Yakima is the Oakcreek wildlife area outside of Naches Washington. There are several areas to stop and see everthing from bighorn sheep to elk. The eagles stay to far away to get closeup shots but they are there too! Seeing scenes like this is something I would have never done until I started doing photography. The beauty and sounds of nature amaze me. Plus the joy I get from sharing my work is an added bonus! When I was taking this shot, a father and his little girl came up and the joy on her face at seeing these magnificent animals was another special moment for me. She called them reindeer and her dad said "I'm not going to tell her any different" and I said " I won't spoil her fun either". So we all have something to enjoy at seeing what ever you want to call these great gifts from god! Now each time I visit the area I will have that special moment when I saw the reindeer!
