Whose Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

In case you don't live in the Wood River Valley... there is a noticeable presence of wolves in our small town lately. So much so, that people have been taking pictures and videos of the wolves in local neighborhoods and chasing elk herds. The topic of wolves is constant discussion around our community for obvious reasons. People are strongly For or Against protecting them. I can understand both sides of the matter and really have only taken on the approach to learn more about them. In these pictures (forwarded from a friend) it's hard not to appreciate the simple beauty of the animal.

I just hope our little Lucy is no where near when the wolfpack cruises our neighborhood.
