Bull Elk Growing New Velvet

We planned our little trip for a break in the weather but ended up getting soaked and this shot is a bit blurred from the rain on my lens. This time of year the male elk and the females tend to go off by themselves. I really liked getting to see the new velvety rack these bulls were growing.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
WOnderful capture

I agree. This is a wonderful shot of these elk in the meadow. Why are their butts all a light tan instead of brown? I will have to look that up.

There's something lovely about walking out in the rain (as long as your not worried about camera gear or cold). I think it awakens the senses!
