Hope is the thing with feathers...

Comment by posthumous:
Before you thought of spring,
Except as a surmise,
You see, God bless his suddenness,
A fellow in the skies
Of independent hues,
A little weather-worn,
Inspiriting habiliments
Of indigo and brown.
With specimens of song,
As if for you to choose,
Discretion in the interval,
With gay delays he goes
To some superior tree
Without a single leaf,
And shouts for joy to nobody
But his seraphic self!

Congrats, a beautiful scene. The mountain light and the mama elk tie it together.

The foreground elk, who is NOT pleased with you, makes the shot for me. Well, that and the lovely light. Nicely done!

A beautiful scene with immense depth and so rich in detail! Again, I admire your approach in presenting the real light and color. Congrats on another ribbon!
I keep coming back to see more details - just noticed the strange cloud formation to the right, they look like Mammatus clouds.
