The Mossy-antlered Creature
In the fathomless still of early morning, shortly before the earth’s engine became a fixture above the horizon, a bull Rocky Mountain Elk abruptly came alert while grazing. The crisp clatter of the camera’s cacophonous shutter piqued the magnificent creature’s curiosity.
Wariness was only momentary, though, as the mossy-antlered creature continued its meal while moving idly in the direction of the invitingly cool bottomland and creek.
