A. When Mr. and Mrs. Moose and Junior Moose come for a family visit!
A couple of days ago, as I cradled my first cup of coffee of the morning, I happened to glance out of the kitchen window. Across the lawn, and staring straight at me, was a moose. I soon realized that it was not just one moose, but three: Mom, Dad, and Baby. Well, the calf was hardly a baby anymore, but most definitely still a youngster. Of course, I scrambled for my camera, stuck the telephoto lens on, and got snapping. Here are some of the better pics:
Mom and Junior having a conference while Dad is busy with the important stuff: eating!
I felt like he (or she) was staring right at me!
Now they're all looking at me!
Nice profile shot there. Kind of looks like a cross between a camel and a donkey ... ?
Check out their white legs.
Not arguing with this fella!
It was really cool to see these guys at the bottom of our garden. It serves as a reminder that the wilderness is all around us, and we must respect the habitat of these majestic creatures.
