ELK!

I was walking to dancing last night. It's about a 20 minute walk, over a couple of hills. As I got to the top of the first hill, what did I see before me, but an elk. A freaking elk walking down the street. It was huge!

For those not familiar with elk, here is what one looks like.

IS this the one you saw? It looks very friendly. It is a bit like my morning when I saw a mob of kangaroos, bounding down the street in front on the school.

Hi, I actually think the animal on the pgoto is a moose - even better than elk!
