Description
The mighty hunter
with his rump on a stump and his feet in the fire
dreaming of an animal with horns like a lyre.
If sleeping while hunting gets to be a habit
he'll probably end up with a snow shoe rabbit...
Someone wrote that, not me. Had an uncle that had that poem hanging on his wall in Oklahoma. Used to look at it and scratch my head.
This photograph is of a bull elk bedded down for the evening in Rocky Mountain National Park in northern Colorado during the fall rut. A lot of people drive up to Moraine Park or Beaver Meadows to watch the festivities. Be sure to bring a folding chair, binoculars, wine if you want it, a hot drink, AND a warm coat. The evenings get rather chilly.
The rutting season lasts from September through October when the fall colors are the best so don't forget the camera.
Digital effects were added after the photograph was made. No animals or electrons were harmed in the process...
