Bull Tule Elk in Velvet, Point Reyes National Seashore

Photo of bull tule elk in lush grass.
It’s Spring and the Living is Easy.

This photo was taken yesterday at Point Reyes National Seashore.  It’s a great time to be out with a camera if you like to photograph wildlife.  Members of the deer family are growing new antlers.  Babies are being born, both predators and prey.  I saw several elk calves yesterday.  Wildflowers are also underway.  If you look closely, you can see lots of douglas iris to go with the cow parsnip.
