Out for a jog...

This morning Mr X and I went for our usual morning jog (bundled up like mad because it's about 30 degrees at 6 am here). We jog next to the winding back roads from our house. About three quarters of the way through (read: just down the street from our house) we were stopped in our tracks as a herd of elk decided to leisurely cross the road in front of us. Mr X and I just stood there freezing because we didn't want to upset them or anything - they have horns, we don't. I quit counting after I reached 100 but I think I got most of them so it probably wasn't too many more than 100 elk. But still! 100 ELK! Crazy, I tell you, crazy.

who jogs with their camera? I don't believe you were jogging. Nice try though.

I didn't have my camera with me during my jog. I just used some pictures Mr X took a few days earlier when he was out on a walk in our neighborhood.

Hey, how about some pictures of the new digs?

That's pretty amazing! You make me jealous when you use the word "jog" Maybe in a year I'll be at it again...*sigh*

Have you guys had an elk burger yet?

Yes I absolutely have had elk burger yet. But not from the elk in my back yard. At least that's how I prefer to think of it.
