Out of the Forest

Sequim’s Roosevelt Elk Herd

During a cold early morning at the intersection of Holland and Medsker Roads, I was able to photograph four female elk at a close distance as they came up the hill and out of the fog.

Not having seen them in this particular location before, I was quite surprised and a bit worried about their safety in such an open field, but later found that they have been known to graze there in the past, and not to worry about them, but to keep my distance. Although they may appear to be docile and friendly, they are to be respected and avoided, especially at close range.
