I was just stepping outside to get a little photo of the rain with my iPhone when I suddenly came aware of a sound near by. I lifted my head and looked over at the field right across our lawn only a few meters from me – and then I saw one of the little elg (elk) calf running around like crazy while shouting some kind of  iyah, iyah-sound – and right behind came the other calf also running and shouting. It all happened so fast, I barely got time to raise my camera and get a photo of them, before I know it they were running up towards the farm on the little hill above our house and away from me.

It’s not the first time we’ve met elg outside our door step, but it’s always amazing. And this time it was so fun, because these little elg calf are too cute!! <3 Late July I got a photo of the whole family together, a rare treat even though we live in the middle of wilderness….. (taken with my regular camera – can you blame me for dreaming about a 200 mm lens?! Imagen the close up I could have gotten here!!)

Signs like this are common around our neighborhood; be aware of elgs (elks).

I’ve just made a new photo book with my latest scrapbook pages. I wanted to add some black and white photos as well and in the process I decided to add some word art to each of them. This was fun!! I can’t wait to see the result. If good, I’ll share The photo above is from Christmas Eve, my dad and my son are good friends.

Life has been pretty busy lately, but we are good. Now I’m ready for work after enjoying a cup of coffee and some blog reading….. And as I write this, sitting in my kitchen, I look at our elk grassing in the field above our house. I say our because he’s a regular guest by now. He’s a young fellow, out on his own for the first time, not sure when to be scared of people. I guess he’ll learn to flee when MT is outside, but I’m watching him; even young he’s a big fella. He is a beauty though, and right now I don’t want to go out and scare him away. But I have to – work is waiting.

I might need some more coffee………….
