July 21, 2010 an AWSOME day!!!

The 20th went out with a loud thunder storm and lots of rain. Today started sunny but we had some real hard rain on our way to Springerville. I did not take my camera and that was a BIG mistake. We saw 3 elk on our way there and on the way back we saw a whole herd. Well, I did take some pictures with my phone but they are not as good as the camera. We got home and got the camera and then headed back to see if they were still there to take some pictures and they were. There were even more and it is an undescribable feeling to see so many. It is a high that doesn't need drugs and is just amazing. I took some video and so put some the the still shots and video on here. My cousin Joanne and my niece Stephanie are here so they also got to see the miracle of this wildlife. In the pictures you can also see some of the beautiful wild flowers. I hope you enjoy them. It is not as exciting as seeing them in person but I am happy to share! The car is my driver, Joanne :-). There were babies in the herd and we could see at least one male with the beginnings of antlers with velvet on them. It looked like a parking lot tonight with so many people stopped to see the show of elk!
