Drive to work

This one is for my Dad. We live on the edge of where suburbia meets the countryside. Behind our development is forestland that you can walk all the way to Mount Rainier in if you wanted. Because of that there are a lot of animals that frequent our city like elk, deer, bear and even a rumored cougar. This morning, like yesterday and many others, I saw a heard of elk on my way to work.


Today these elk had jumped a tall fence and were grazing inside a water retention facility. The elk in Washington are larger bodied, but have smaller antlers and are known as the Roosevelt elk. Here is what one looks like up close.
