Momma Moose and Baby Bullwinkle

The moose are cool animals. They are highly respected by all in the animal kingdom and seem to carry a fearlessness with them wherever they go.

They are enormous critters with a fierce reputation. If one decides to attack you, there really isn't that good of a chance you'll get out without being seriously injured.

There are a lot of moose around here. In particular these two which have acted interestingly over the past 7 months. The photo to the right was taken on a cheap camera phone around the end of May. What an exciting thing to watch them jet across the road up ahead! Seeing in person is really incredible.

Over the next few weeks there were more encounters with these two. Momma was so skittish. We would spot her from a very comfortable distance and instantly she would make a run for it taking this little leggy nob back behind her with.

After awhile she would watch us a little longer each visit and finally a couple of weeks ago we were able to drive up to a safe but close distance and grab some great photos!

These beautiful animals are almost mystic. I can watch them for hours!
