Road trip!

It's so nice to get out and blow a little steam off. I decided to take a trip over to Yakima for a little trout fishing and a chance to shoot some pictures. Both where better than I had anticipated. I found a lot of hungry trout on the Yakima. They seemed to prefer the backwater spots this time of year. I only found fish in froggy spots with little current. They really had a loving for my mayfly colored Rooster Tail, oddly they didn't want the black one. As I was driving out of the canyon I was thinking to myself that it would be nice if the resident sheep would be near the road for a few pics. As I turned the corner there they where. After a few quick shots I was off to Oak Creek to see the elk. And boy where there elk! I think they have almost a thousand there. In all I had a fun day!

Proof that elk can be very deep sleepers.

I cannot believe that this baby elk still has spots! It's alomost a year old!
