Photo of the Day - I selected photos of the day for each day, but am a few short of having one for each day. These are substitutes.

 This was a bit confusing. There were eight animals off in the distance, and it wasn´t until I got the big lens on them that I could tell there were three elk and five deer. What´s up with that? It was just a coincidence, they weren´t hanging out together. The deer took off and the elk did not follow. Custer State Park.
