This majestic bull elk was captured in his rutting ritual in a wildlife conservatory on the Kenai Peninsula several miles south of Anchorage, Alaska. I was impressed by his pose and the way he pranced in front of my camera.

Autumn's a dramatic and critical time of year for Alaska's elk because this is their annual breeding season, which is also call the rut. Mature bulls, meaning those three to four years or older, may display their impressive antlers and spar with each other in competition for herds or harems of elk cows and calves. Vocalizations made by elk during the rut include piercing bugles, mewing, squealing and barking. If you've never heard an elk bugle in the wild, you've missed one of the most awesome sounds in nature.

A picture is a poem without words....Horace. My photos and digital paintings are picture words intended to invoke delight, thought, memories or wonder in the minds of the viewer. Some are meant to inform or instruct, but all are offered for the enjoyment of those whose eyes will explore them. I get excited about all things nature, wildlife, and nostalgia, however my travel and visits to interesting places also show up in my work. Please browse my galleries which are open to the public and anyone interested in design or decorating residential, commercial or public buildings. Volume discounts are available.
