LOVE THIS SHOT!! Im so happy you got to see some moose here! #1410169Dan W. Dooley September 23, 2011
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. #9687080Jean Lechleiter September 25, 2011
Super capture, Dan! Lovely light and close up detail. #9691651Dan W. Dooley September 25, 2011
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. :-) #9691785Kathy D. Reasor October 05, 2011
