Before work today I decided to check up on the flowers at Plainview in Jefferson County, CO. There were about 10 deer along the road and after walking around the Prairie for a bit I noticed 3 elk off in the distance. The larger herd was about a half mile away and didn’t seem to mind me. I was taking photos of the Blue Flag Iris when the 3 Elk came closer to me. I assume that the Elk were curious to see someone not paying attention to them and they came even closer. They eventually stopped about 25ft from me and they just starred. I starred back and eventually they caught my scent or something and ran to the North of me. It was a interesting morning for sure!
