This blog focuses primarily on two places I love, Texas and Colorado, and reflects my photography and musings as a retiree who plans to use the freedom of retirement to spend time where and how I choose--traveling, painting, photography, gardening--and of course, with family and friends.

Safety in Numbers
As I was coming down the main entrance street to this housing area, I saw this group of elk crossing the street together. There may be safety in numbers from predators, but not necessarily from cars. On my return trip, I saw that one adult female had a fatal encounter with a car. The wildlife folks were there with their flatbed trailer and it took 4 men to lift her onto it. It is my understanding that, in cases like this, the meat will be donated to a food pantry or some other charitable organization.
