We just returned from a few days photographing the elk rut in Rocky Mountain National Park. The last few times Kevin and I have visited the park, including an adventure to Yellowstone, we were thinking we were probably too early for the full experience.

Just as a new batch of wolves are set to be released into the Colorado Rocky Mountain wilderness, the ranchers launch a new bid to kill the wolf project. The headline on a CBS news article reads, "Efforts underway to stop wolf reintroduction in Colorado with popular vote". Please do not sign their petitions to get their new initiative on the ballot.
