FROM MICE TO MOOSE!

The outside temperature was well below freezing this morning when we awoke, so I was happy to stay snuggled in bed while Odel arose, started water heating for tea, opened the shades, etc., etc.  But when he yelled “THERE ARE MOOSE RIGHT OUTSIDE THE WINDOW”, I shot straight up!

Morning Moose





There they were, a mama and her baby, grazing in the brush directly in front of our big picture window.

We admired them as they turned this way and that, enjoying their breakfast as the sunshine crept towards them.

Meanwhile, the admiring paparazzi congregated just outside our driver’s side window, cameras clicking.

In the right place, at the right time… how exciting!

  3. One of my hopes is to see a moose up close, but not "too close."

  6. HOW WONDERFUL FOR YOU!!! I would have run outside in my "uniform", with camera in hand and scared not only the moose, but everyone else out there!! If you are wondering what my "uniform" is...ask Bayfield Al...He's still trying to recover from my photos of it.

  7. Its a wonder all those folks didn't scare the Moose away. Perhaps they are all accustomed to performing for the cameras!
    You folks seem to get the greatest opportunities as you full time!
