"The Continuation of Life"
By: Christopher Johnson (Park Hill, OK)
During the autumn rut in Grand Teton National Park, a mature bull moose mounts a cow, revealing a rarely photographed moment of natural breeding behavior. His enormous antlers rise above the pair as they move through the frost-covered vegetation of the surrounding woodland. The encounter offers an intimate glimpse into the seasonal rituals that ensure the continuation of this iconic species.
