This photo is worth a short story as its kind of funny.
Just about a month ago now, I was over in Rocky Mountain National Park taking wildlife photos and one evening I was watching a bull out in a large meadow, that was too far out to take photos. But I set up and just waited. The large bull would bugle while he was doing this another guy came down by me with a spotting scope and started looking around and watching yet another bull that was even farther out in the meadow.
While he was looking through his spotting scope, the bull to his left came in silently and stopped just yards from him. The guy had no idea the bull was there, and so I switched my camera to take a couple photos of him and the bull. He heard my shutter clicking and turned his heads towards me to see what I was taking photos of. When he saw I was taking photos of him, he ask me why I was doing that.
I softly said look to your left and when he did he about turned inside out.
This photo was taken just as he started to look, but at this point the guy still had no idea the bull was just yards from him.
Once he saw the bull there, he grabbed his tripod and spotting scope and flew by me like a bullet!
Have a good one. BB

I was walking to snap a picture of a bull elk standing in the Madison
River in Yellowstone National Park. I had just stepped off the road and
snapped a picture when I looked down; I had almost stepped on a cow
elk resting below me. Had I stepped on her, I would have had one wild
ride!
