A Lucky Day Out!

While driving along a county road, I saw a couple of critters cross at a distance. At first I thought a couple of horses had got loose. Then I saw the white rumps and the rest of the herd

 This is the first herd of Elk that I have seen in some time

 

They were a little spooky, but hung around long enough for me to get a few pictures.

 

Normally you don't see them out and about at mid afternoon. They are called the Ghosts for a good reason.

 One is still molting and looking very scruffy.

I guess this shot is what you would call "The End(s)"

Five minutes later and I would not have seen any sign of them!
