Earlier today I ran to the grocery store to come home and be greeted by a moose in my yard.
Moose are very interesting creatures and have many roles, as you can see here:

Dancing in the driveway (two-stepping)

Snow removal

Tree trimmer

Trail blazer

Model (smiling for the camera)

then she left without even saying goodbye

I wish she had been so photogenic during the Wildlife III challenge!

It's great to see that you still have your camera after all the misadventure with your house lately. You should have shot a couple with wide open aperture for the shallow DOF challenge. Great images you posted, I esp like the smiley moose. It almost looks photo shopped with the perfect teeth.
Thanks for sharing, and again, it's good to see that you are still clicking away.

It's against the law to wake sleeping bear here in Alaska......a nice hefty fine for such actions

Great shots. The last moose I saw was yesterday morning and it was dead on the side of the road. *pout* Last LIVE moose I saw was a couple weeks ago just standing on the side of the road while I went zooming by at 60mph.
