When it comes to photography, I love surprises. Things that you didn't expect are sometimes the things that you enjoy the most. For instance, when we first visited Jessica's dad in Reedsport, Oregon back in 2012, I had no idea that you could photograph elk in a beautiful valley setting just a few miles from the Pacific coast! But, lo and behold, there is a valley along the Umpqua River where the elk are almost always present. The Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area is the year-round residence for a herd of about 100 Roosevelt Elk. A mild winter climate and abundant food allow the animals to remain in the area all year. The viewing area has a wonderfully maintained side road off the main highway with lots of room to stop and view the elk. We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon here while the elk basked in the warmth of the spring sun.
