Of Moose and Men

Just got back from the Yonderosa. As usual, too tired to post much now but want to share a few teasers to get you to come back for another visit.


So there we are sitting on the porch, enjoying a glass of wine, talking about how good life is when "Hello there.... we have a Moose." says my lovely wife.

I grab the camera I have at the ready for just such an occasion - I really wish I had Mona level skills for this encounter - and I fire off a shot through the rail hoping to capture a picture of the Moose.

The Moose was good enough to stand there for a while and allow me a few more shots. Had I been less bumbling and more patient he might have ambled right up to the cabin for a proper portrait...


Our neighbors thought he bore a striking resemblance to another moose they knew named Gus and perhaps he was Gus Jr. Whoever he is we're glad "Guswinkle" visited the Yonderosa and posed for a few pictures.
