THE ELK

We were treated to a rare sight today, and witnessed one of God's creations, at their best. Allen drove us down to an open meadow at dusk, and we saw a field of Elk grazing. There aren't usually Elk in this region, but a few years ago, the state placed a few in the area to see if they would reproduce, and they have! There were about seven Elk cows with their calves huddled by a tree, when out of the forest of trees emerged one lone bull Elk! He was magnificent! He sauntered over to the calves and lifted up his head, and then he gazed over at us......
All the people that had stopped by the side of the road were taking pictures as fast as they could......me included!
Afterwards, we drove up to the back entrance of the Smokey Mountains National Park, and looked at the streams and falls.
God simply outdoes Himself in these places, and I for one, am blessed to be able to witness it!
