We were talking with Elizabeth and Abby last Sunday evening on Skype when all of a sudden Kent cries out there's a Moose in our backyard. The grasses are about 5 feet tall so you can see how large it really is. I think it's a cow because no antlers... and nothing else "abounds". Look at that hump! It almost looks like a camel. 
No, it doesn't but did you know moose had such big humps? And yes, those grasses and trees haven't been mowed down yet for a subdivision that is supposed to go up behind our house so we still have a view of the great outdoors. We turned the Skype camera around so Elizabeth and Abby could see. Elizabeth said, "Wow! It looks like Alaska. You really do live in Alaska." You think? Abby saw the moose also but it wasn't so thrilling for her. When you are two, everything is new...
So I'm wondering, where did you think I really lived? And how did the moose get so many scars? Just wondering...
That is one huge animal! I now have a better apprecition of the nickname. Great pictures - and what timing! She must be a fighter/survivor. Maybe someday I'll get pictures of the deer in OUR yard.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and close up of that moose! Did she just walk through your yard and move on? Pretty cool to see nature up close. How are you enjoying the long Alaskan days?
ReplyDeleteha- that's great! Maybe you should do children's book about it-
