This past weekend we visited my Uncle and Aunt. We'd heard stories of the beautiful area where they live, how moose pass their back fence often, deer graze within view daily, the river is a walk away, the voles digging in the backyard. So we decided to see if the stories were all true (besides which, we wanted to visit). My personal hope was to see a moose. So we went.
And it lived up to all the stories. A picturesque (I love that word!) place. It was completely peaceful. The kiddos had a great time, DH and I had a great time visiting with my aunt and uncle, and we saw not one moose, but FOUR! Two cows walking through the trees, and a mama with her calf as we were taking a walk by the river.
This is our first moose sighting. By the time I got the camera out, they were deep into the trees.
It was a five hour trip to get there and five hours back (it would be shorter without kids:) but well worth the time. The kiddos had so much fun that they were exhausted and slept more than halfway back home.
This is the view from their deck. Who would ever want to leave this place?
Next time I'll be more specific and hope to see a Bull Moose...

I encountered a moose once, but it was too close for comfort. They sure are fun to watch. what a pretty place to see them in!
Hey, I checked out your photo blog. You have great pictures. I am glad that you are enjoying your camera. I have been working with mine as well. I think that I finally am starting to understand what every button does and now it is just a matter of using them at the right time. It is hard to take the camera off of Auto. Haha. Baby steps anyway.
You should come visit us. We don't have moose, but we have plenty of deer, squirrels, raccoons, and groundhogs. Sounds like you had fun, though.
