 I thought these two bull elk were symbolic of a political race. The one in the lead looks like the winner. The one trailing looks exhausted. Seems about right.

A fairly intense snowstorm filled West Horseshoe Park about 4 pm on 02/19/14. The bull elk, all with antlers, were anxious to stay in the parque because the new green grass had just sprouted through. These are the last days of antlers, as the improved nutrition will get the new antlers in gear and push out the 2013 antlers. Artistic visions in the snow, they were. Canon 5Dmk3, Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L, f/5.6, 1/1000s, ISO 1600, lens focal length 400mm.

This needs a title such as: the contradictions of global warming. Good atmosphere. 6
