Mother Nature at it's best or Father Nature at it's best? "You Decide"

photograph by Robert Swetz - Mammoth Lakes - California

This beautiful photograph was captured on my drive between Mammoth Lakes & Mono Lake California. It is a huge Male Elk with around 20 young just taking a break so Robert Swetz (Vegas Bob) could capture them in their moment.

I almost missed this shot and did a double take as I turned my car around, very rarley are you able to view such a sight in the wide open and this is not a farm these are wild Elk.

"Have a wonderful day after the long weekend"

PS - Could this be a morning meeting of a Broker and his Agents?

Robert, those are awesome, to see such a large herd is incredible! The mountains offer such beauty in so many ways. The male of the herd really looks like the prominent one!

Your photos never cease to amaze me, that's why I've got YOU in my favorites! Looks like the ELK are all grouped together- posing for the picture... God Bless Mother or Father Nature.

I hope that you had a fantabulous Labor Day Weekend... I'm glad that my weekend is over! Yippee!

He seems to be counting noses.

I don't see any other males around. Reminds me of a herd of elk males I photographed here in Oregon recently. They were grazing in an all male herd of perhaps 25. The alpha male and all the females (dozens) were about a half mile away.
