This season, the well-dressed, eco-conscious elk will be wearing "green" jewelry

This young buck Elk, spotted along Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, appears to be sporting earrings (click to zoom and see them). These tags help rangers track his movements as he makes his way around the park, changing elevation with the seasons to forage for food.

    Must have taken lots of patience to capture this guy looking at you like that. Look at those horns! Wow!

    Those earrings are simply divine! Emeralds, perhaps? Great shot!

    Nice color choice on the elk's part. Great clear shot, he seems unperturbed at your presence

    Great pictures. I could not get one of these babies to look in my direction.

    Very unique interpretation and great shot. Don't tell him though, the green clashes with his antlers.
