Hiking


Monarch Exploring Flowers

These photos are from my trip to the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo Wisconsin. I visited there in July of this year while enroute from Denver to Milwaukee.

Elk In RMNP

These are not from the elk rut event mentioned in the last post, but are from a week or two before after hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. I took these from my car on the side of the road as the elk was about 20-30 feet away.
