I went into the archives to get these two moose photos for my friend, Sherri, who LOVES them! Both photos were taken during the summer of 2006. My son, Jacob, and I took his friend, Mike, to Mt. Katahdin to try and catch a glimpse of a moose. Mike had never actually seen one, and we knew just the place to take him! We not only saw one moose that day, we saw five ! Here are pictures of three of them. The two cows had been bickering back and forth, until one gave up and decided to leave. (She's the one in the watercolor photo. Next, (what we had been waiting for) the Momma brought out the calf she had been hiding in the woods. She had been protecting her baby from the other moose, but proudly put him on display for those of us watching from a rock on the other side of the stream. I just love this picture of her looking back at him to make sure he was coming along. So, the day was a success. Mike got to see not one, but three moose on the mountain, and two more on the trip home!
One day last week, my Mom, my Aunt and I were visiting in our living room, and my Aunt was looking out the window and saw two foxes. They seem to have made themselves a home in the side of the hill on the edge of our field. I've been watching them and trying to get a good picture, but since they are so far away, and my camera lense is only so big, this was the best I could do. You can click on the photos to make them larger, but the quality isn't perfect. I bought a lense doubler today, so next time they are out, I'll see if I can do better. I tried going out and walking a little closer, but they got frightened and ran away. These shots were taken out my window - just don't tell Ralph I had the window open!
