Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
On your mark get set…go!
As far as elk are concerned, it’s not very often we get the chance to view or photograph them at this range, especially the bulls. So on this particular day, I was happy to have my longest lens handy while they trotted off in unison, as if beginning a race.
And although it may appear like they’re all bulls, there is one cow in the far back, and apparently she’s winning the race – which politically speaking, doesn’t happen very often either…
Sooo, I’m not sure how to say this but, my post this morning is totally inaccurate – so fear not dear readers, the building is STILL THERE, at least for now, as is the other smaller shed.
And although there is a bulldozer and other heavy equipment on the property (see below) as well as a lot of debris (aside from the blue bins), I’m blaming my mistake on the recent time change, but please forgive me nonetheless!
And…best wishes for a great day!
A neighbor on NextDoor asked if I’d post this image of a cow elk wearing a tracker, and I’m happy to oblige.
Trackers are used to stop traffic on Hwy. 101 and to allow the herd to safely cross. Note that one ear also has a tag. Otherwise, her tracker serves as an attractive conversation starter, if nothing else. I’ve googled for more info but wasn’t able to TRACK down the reason for the tag.
If any of you have witnessed a crossing, please comment!
