Thirsty Moose Just Outside Yellowstone National Park

The following were taken June 29, 2009 as I left Yellowstone National Park from the East entrance and headed to Cody, Wyoming.  Happy Monday!

Sheldon,

He sure is.  A very thirsty fellow may I add.   He stood in his oasis for a long time and was not disturbed whatsoever by me and the other tourists taking photos of him from a distance.  Cheers!

Carol,

You are welcome.   If you haven't yet, I recommend you drive in Yellowstone some day.  That is where you have good chances of spotting a moose.

I love peaceful settings in nature especially when I get to spot and observe a moose like this one for a long period of time.   Thank you for visitng this post and for your kind words.

Mary,

I love Yellowstone too!  I am hoping to make one more trip next week.  I am grateful to live only 69 miles away from the northeast entrance to the National Park.

Well I am happy to see you have more moose photos, because my trip to the North Country did not produce any...there was a bear sighting nearby, but no moose...=o( This, however is a GREAT shot, and I'm just wondering, is that considered "moose drool" or moose dribble in the second shot?  =o) Either way, well done!

Cheryl,

The second photo can indeed be considered to be moose drool.  :)

Thanks for positive comments.

Oh Gerry!  What a gorgeous picture.  The grass is so green.  I haven't been to Yellowstone yet. . .I plan to make it on a trip next year.

Myrl,

Mark it on the calendar for next year because you will love seeing Mother Nature's creations even better in person.   Thanks for visiting this post and for the feedback.

I keep seeing signs throughout New Hampshire warning "moose crossing" however, I have not been able to capture any photos... these are great!

Gerry your camera does a find job, we chose the point and shoot Panasonic DMC-TZ3 only because it has a little wider lens than most.

Thanks for the tip and new group Gerry and now I have good reason to get out there and capture some moose on film!

That Cody, Wyoming, entrance to Yellowstone is my favorite. There always seemed to be more wildlife out that way than at the other entrances to the Park.

Al and Peggy,

Judging by your photos on AR, your camera is doing a fine job too.   Mine is over 2 years old and is approaching the end of his life expectancy as some parts are falling apart and the battery holder needs a tape to hold it in place.

Vebas Bob,

Please do capture some moose on film and share with us!   I know there are not that many moose photo opportunities in Las Vegas but you travel quite a bit so I am sure you will run into some when you least expected.  If you need help finding them, you can always ask your Alien friends whenever you see them.  :)

Russel,

We must have been lucky to be there earlier this week and see plenty of wildlife.  That entrance is presently closed because of a fire near the West Thumb.  Fire is a natural process (it actually helps the lodge pine to spread in the Park with time) but let's hope they manage to control it and keep the newly burnt area to a minimum.
