ABC Wednesday—R is for "reindeer"


These young reindeer are "play fighting,"
just practicing for the real thing.

We were hiking in a place called Alkehornet,
a meadow at the base of a high cliff
(alke = cliff in Norwegian), where thousands 
of Arctic birds were nesting.  In the meadow was 
a herd of about 25 reindeer—that 
(uncharacteristically) came very close to us.
The whole experience was pretty
special, to say the least!

  4. Those are hefty reindeer. They'll have to slim down if they want to be recruited for Santa's sleigh. ;)
