LOVE THIS SHOT!! Im so happy you got to see some moose here! #1410169

Thanks Dawn, It has been a dream of my wife's for a very long time. The moose is her favorite animal and in the past we've only been able to see them from a considerable distance. So we were very pleased to have such a good close-up opportunity which I don't think is all that common. We're already making tentitive plans to revisit Yellowstone and to visit Glacier NP. Perhaps next summer. We know there will be moose at both places. #9687080

Super capture, Dan! Lovely light and close up detail. #9691651

Thanks Jean. We may have been in more danger than we realized as close as we were. Big Momma Moose was not happy with our closeness. :-) #9691785
