estes park: elk

the elk were abundant and pretty grumpy this year. we came quite close to having to climb a tree to avoid 4 of the big fellas. FELLAS. with those horns that make you want to shit your pants. sean had the closest call of the weekend though... the elk basically charged at him. regardless, we went elk watching every day we were there. the bugling was delightful, and there were lots of little fuzzy baby elk. they even wiggled their way into the background of the valentine vow renewal. or perhaps we wiggled our way into the foreground. either way, it was awesome.
