Protective

A mother elk stands watch over her precious little one. She is also standing between her calf and the raging Big Thompson River in the background as snowmelt had swollen the river to bank full.

 

Taken in Moraine Park in Rocky Mountain National Park.

 

We are headed back up to the Park in a few weeks for the elk rut and fall colors - should be amazing!

 

Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, fave or comment on my photos!
