A magnificent bull elk pauses as he is about to cross the deep water portion of the Snake River. Taken in Grand Teton National Park off of Oxbow Bend Road. I love how the early morning sun lights of the tips of his antlers and face.
The same bull elk as seen in Snake River Crossing is now swimming the main channel in the river with only his head and antlers above the water. As seen off the Oxbow Bend Road in Grand Teton National Park.
After crossing the Snake River, this bull elk tried the drip dry routine for a bit as he stood with the steamy water streaming down its sides. After a short while he shook and the water sprayed and glinted like little stars in the bright morning light. Not long after this he turned, looked at me and off he went into the trees. What an amazing few minutes with this magnificent animal!
