My journey to work is through countryside and woods, a house here and there, a small community.
The other day as I neared a pasture I saw two horses, nose to nose over a fence. I thought it was sweet. You don’t see that every day. But as I got closer I realized it wasn’t two horses nose to nose over a fence. It was a horse and an elk nose to nose over a fence. I’ve lived out here for 15 years and although I see lots of horses and plenty of elk I’ve never seen a horse and an elk nose to nose making friends.
I was traveling 45 mph so it took a couple of blocks before I could slow down and turn around and pull out my phone to get a picture. But as I slowly pulled up along the pasture, the friendly elk spooked and turned to leave with the rest of his herd.
I hope they had time to exchange names before I interrupted their friendliness.
