Bikin' Busse

On the way to the birthday party today, we biked 15 miles at Busse Woods. The colors are intensifying, but the leaves are falling, so it's a race between colorful palate and baldness as seen in this picture ...




Of course we stopped at the elk compound, and as I was snapping shots, the big bull elk on the right took umbrage and charged me, butting the fence with his rack. Sorry, but I didn't get a good picture of his charge because I was quickly backing away since the tines of the rack were coming through the chain link interstices! He was also bugling loudly -- probably since it's rutting season and he was defending his harem.
