That is a beautiful scene, Laura, and the moose is an added bonus! I guess it's the same as us seeing wild koalas! #10998467

What a spectacular scene and capture, Pom! Oh, and there's also that trottin' moose making her way across the road...

Seriously, you were probably beside yourself (sounds a little like Siamese twins), having the opportunity to catch both those beautiful mountains and a beautiful moose at the same time. Lucky you! #10999067

Thank you everyone! :D This was taken in the back country. We have been here with BPers that come to visit (INCLUDING YOU SSSKiki!!!) and it's a persons best chance to see Moose! One trip back in there we were camping and saw a bunch of them together eating in muddy grass. We were driving our truck on a windy road and had cars behind us, too, so the photos didn't turn out very well...

It's so exciting to see them. In Easter Canada they are ridden with them and cause bad road wrecks but not here. HERE it is just a real treat!

Thank you everyone! I hope you are all having a great weekend!
