I can't wait until the warm weather and the early morning wildlife encounters. This big bull elk was standing in the middle of the road (Balsam Mountain Road in GSMNP, NC last July. The elk moved slowly to the side of the road as I was grabbing my camera. If someone would have come up fast on that road it could have been a bad accident. Anyway, I thought it would be appropriate to upload a summer picture when we are having real cold weather here in East TN.
