I couldn't resist posting a few of the pictures Mike took in the Rocky Mountain NP. It is mating season there for the elk, and every evening between 5 and 8 they were in the meadows. I wish we could have recorded some of the calls they were making. Also the Autumn colors were breath-taking especially in the sunlight. Wow! But most of the 'red' trees you can see in these shots are from dead trees. A combination of dry, age and an insect infestation has causes loads of trees to die. The park says it is a natural occurrence and they let nature take it course. Still it was sad to see so many dead trees.
