Just a moose hanging in the water.
It is not often that I just take a sit and hang out with the animals, but when I do it is because I stumble upon one. Of course, this guy I didn’t exactly stumble upon. I was driving back from hiking where I was indeed looking for some more moosies. I had already seen too, but I stumbled upon some fresh moose tracks, and not the foot print kind, so I was on a mission. As I crossed over a river, I thought to myself, “You know what, it would be awesome to catch a moose just chillin’ the water.” Well, I figured that was another one of my pipe dreams and went on my way.
As I was driving back into the main park, which apparently I wasn’t even in yet, there was a line of cars along a narrow road and herds of people. Naturally, I had to look while I mumbled about the asinine amount of cars in my way. Well, thank you to the gawkers because I may have missed this guy….maybe. We’ll never actually know because well they were there and he was there, so you know.
With all that said, I parked…I walked…I maneuvered…and I hung out with Mr. Moose. I was so entranced that I hadn’t even noticed that ALL of the gawkers had vanished and the only thing that remained was the moose, myself, and another photographer further down. I wouldn’t even be able to tell you exactly how long I actually sat there, but it was worth it.
This is just one of several, it just happens to be the only one I have done right now. I hope that this picture does the big guy justice and that you like it, but for now I must get to chorin’. Have a beautiful day and tomorrow.
Live, laugh, love, and let it ride.

That must of been a great experience! I’ve never hung out with a Moose before.It looks like an adult. If its a male shouldn’t it show a rake? Maybe its a cow?

I definitely believe it was indeed an adult, older. It very well could be a female. It is more likely so I suspect. I saw three that day and now that I think about it, not sure there was a male in the bunch.

males generally always are solo creatures but females )sisters) will hang out for several years.

Now see that is information I didn’t know. I guess that they are probably cow moose that I saw then (I had to look that up. I clearly need to spend more time talking to them 🙂 ). I never really realized there were different types of moose, I guess that I really should have known. There is never just one of any species. So, with that they were all solo but none had racks.

A fine encounter! I’m thinking, as per Wayne’s opinion, this one is a cow?
