Beaver Meadows
The elk here in Rocky Mountain National Park are in the process of losing their antllers. I made this photograph this morning and as you can see, several of these bulls have lost theirs already. If you look closely, you may see that new ones are quickly beginning to grow. Over the next weeks they will become quite large and covered in beautiful smooth velvet.
