 Lot's of people tell me about moose they see and i never see them until yesterday this fellow came out of the woods on the side of the road.. Not a sudden stop just pulled over and gingerly took a few photo's ... Think he maybe a yrlng as seemed curious not a bit shy.. Can just see his horns beginning to sprout..

Awwwww! I think moose are so cute. I would love to see one in person. Wonderful detail and the colors all look so natural.

Jane, you were so lucky to get these moose shots! Nice crisp capture. I've never photographed in the snow, but understand it can be a challenge to get good exposures. This one is really nice. Look at how big his ears are!

As I hear it, it is best to get the photos while they are young, they get a bit testy when older. Moose are strange looking creatures, kind of like a cross between a camel and a horse with the ears of a rabbit. Great portrait!

glad he wasn't followed by a mean grown up one...man they are HUGE, what damage they do to cars..not to mention what befalls them in a collision!

Moose! Those are some serious eyebrows - haha - I know they are horn buds... very cool photo. Love how the moose was eyeing you as you were eyeing him.

How COOL is that! That's a great capture, he looks pretty calm with the whole photo-shoot scene.

How good is this. What an amazing capture. Lovely DOF and sharpness in the fur standing up on his/her back.

What a wonderful moose. Looks very close. Good that you had a camera with you. Reminds me of my "Free Study 2007-08" entry.
