We spent the weekend in Estes Park, Colorado, touring Rocky Mountain National Park each day. Photo opportunities were a bit rare for me but yesterday evening this one came along not a quarter mile from our campsite. A bull had himself a nice little harem and this young one was hanging out with its mom.
My wife and I spent a good while sitting in the rain just enjoying the scene. You can definitely tell the weather is changing with the seasons as there was a notable chill in the air and snow on many of the peaks, particularly above timberline.
