Moose on the loose in Maine!

I am finally getting around to looking at some of the 3,000+ images from a trip I took this Fall to Maine. Of course we saw the obligatory moose (Alces alces), so I figured I would post a cute one of this mother cow with her calf from this year. They spent at least 40 minutes feeding at the edge of Sandy Stream Pond in Baxter State Park, within 6 feet of myself and several other lucky folks! Quite a treat for this southern photographer! My Dad almost had one come right up to him.

Simple pleasures

Sometimes when you least expect it, like when you are standing on a wooden bridge that crosses a pristine creek in Baxter State Park, Maine, after a wonderful day watching and photographing moose, a simple yet purely joyous scene presents itself and begs to be photographed. This is such a photo.
