Elk in the Redwoods

 

 

There may be some who find it normal to find a herd of elk sitting in the shade on the side of the road, but this Southern California native is far from use to finding this sight on the side of the road.  So along with about two dozen others who seemed to find this intriguing, we stopped to take photos up in the redwoods.

Christine, how did you get them to pose for the picture?  I've never had any luck taking a picture of an elk.

BTW, You were missed at RainCamp last week.

Christine, it always makes me laugh when I drive by a sign in SoCal which warns of deer. I would LOVE to see one! I guess if I really want to see a deer or an elk I must head north! Great picture!

I'm surprised they didn't even get up and start to leave!

I don't think I've ever seen Elk here in Southern California before, Christine.

Leolinda - It looks like they're used to stopping in that meadow for a rest.

I would have loved to go to RainCamp again, but I didn't want to drive all the way and there were no close airports.  Another time.

Debe - They don't live near me ; ) My husband wishes we had forests like that nearby.  I was up in the Redwoods in Northern California.

Stephanie - I did see a deer in So. Cal. recently.  Of courese, it was downtown Avalon ; ) so maybe it doesn't count?

Leilani - We spent a long time watching them.

Coleen - They were great photography subjects.

Carol - There were so many of us gawking at them.  It was quite a spectacle.

Heather - We were in Northern California.
