Neat images! We saw some on the lawns of homes right in town in Packwood (near the main road) in July. Crazy!
Yes they are all over that area. we go to the Packwood car show every year and stay in the RV park there and the herd comes through and grazes among all of us campers.
A few Elk from a very large herd in the Randle Washington area, they are in a gated community campground property bordering a river. I heard them bugle to each other and went in search of them and it was awesome sight for sure.
Very nice series. Never been on a whale watch, but in my youth used to go to the submarine races with my favorite girl...oops, more info than you needed to know. ;-)
I have been using Costco and checked the option of them NOT editing my photos and for the most part have been happy but every so often the photos that look great on my computer are to dark when printed out. and another time all my 5x7 had a line thru them all and had to be re-printed. I myself have been trying to decide who to use in the future.
