Moose

This last weekend we were up in Moose country - and I searched and searched, and fished and fished...

And the last day as we were packing up the car - I was talking to one of my sons on the phone.... and a MOOSE comes out of the woods straight at my car.

I stuttered... I sputtered, ....  I scared my kid

but it was a MOOSE

And me - with only my cell phone!!


And he walked right between the condos
and down to the lake!



And proof that someone caught fish! I have one of the Husband too.... But I haven't gotten it off my real camera yet.... the real camera that was still INSIDE the Condo when the MOOSE came through!

What a thrill to see the moose! I wanted to see one so badly when we went to Yellowstone and Big Horn Mts. Finally in the Big Horns we got to see the butt of one!! He was back in the trees, but at least we saw him, LOL

Hope you had more to eat when you got home. 2 fish!! If you step on them, they will get bigger. LOL

The moose is the one animal that I really want to see. We've been to plenty of places where I should see them but they stay away from me! Last March the day after we left Colorado my friend sent me a photo of one right next to a Lowe's!

What fun! It's like when we were looking for big horn sheep and somebody turned around and one was staring at all of us from a rock above us! I have had moose in my yard a few times. I was out walking and the moose was between the house and me! I called my husband to come out and chase it away, after I took pics of course!

I sympathize on the photo frustration. Some years ago while hiking, my friend and I walked over a hill and almost into a moose tail - giganto moose. My head was even with his back and I am six feet tall. Rutting season fear frozen, we just stood there unable to pull the cameras out of the backpack until he wandered far down the hill....too far away for any good pics. Still a wonderful and funny memory but alas no archived photos to share. At least you got a shot, even if not what you would have wanted. Good one.

At least you had your cell phone handy. I saw a moose in MN, and couldn't get to my camera (in my purse). I finally looked down to find the camera, and the moose walked off. Oh well.

I love seeing moose when we travel! Heading to that country at the end of the month and hope to see them again this year
