Humm...Or Is That
The FOX Trot?
(I always get them confused!!!)

Anyway this was
TRULY
A Huge Thrill For Me To See!

I have only seen
3 or 4 Moose in 19 years of
LIVING IN CANADA.

Fantastic capture of this beautiful animal. Nice work, Laura. It's exciting that you were there, had your camera, and were ready for the shot.

  Hey Lala, you have been having a LOT of fun, I can tell!! This is awesome!! Great capture!! I got a moose shot a couple weeks ago...but she was a handraised moose, and when she sees a tram full of people she comes running, sticks her head in the tram and gives big moose kisses to some lucky passenger!!

  Hey you were right! You do live in Moose country! Terrific shot of the moose, but I also love the clouds over the road, sort of keep the lighting right on the moose.

  Yes Gord, the Moose Trot IS the Canadian version of the Fox Trot. Laura will be giving out free lessons shortly. :D

Well Laura, you got lots of beautiful pictures of the Rockies there ... nice to finally see one of Bullwinkle! What about Dudley Do-Right? Did you see him too? LOL! All kidding aside, this is a great capture! Don't think I've ever come across a Moose trotting across the road! Did anyone tell him he was jaywalking?! Love the gorgeous scenery in the background! Totally awesome! Nice work, Sis! :)

  Laura, here in Newfoundland you can wake up in the morning & have a moose in your front or backyard.They are dangerous too, for we have have about 600 accidents per year & many people are killed!!! We missed one by inches one night & it was the biggest fright of my life.Now that I have cheered you up..............
fantastic colors, detail, clarity, perspective & comp captrued here!!! Lovely job on this,my friend!!!

MUMJ, your moose are REALLY professional! They make my dancer look like a beginner! HA!

Thank you Wm! :)

Thank you ALL for the fun & friendship here! You're the BEST! Your actual comments on the photo have been much appreciated as well.

  Laura, you have so many beautiful images. Now I know where most of the Editor's Picks go! Lucky you, to live where you do. I envy you. This is a great grab shot of the Moose. I would much rather see this panarama than a close up of the moose. This deserves a big print. Hope you have the mega pixels! You are doing very well indeed. Keep up the good work and you will go far.
