Wow...I just love stuff like this. How cool is this. Gorgeous....just gorgeous.

WOW! Fabulous photo. I'm speechless. Please share more.

Larry,

Thank you for being the first to comment. I am glad you love it and found it gorgeous. Make sure to drop by on Mondays for more photos like this.

Linda,

Thank you for the positive comment. I will continue to share more on Mondays as long as I have moose photos. :)

Gerry - Many many moons ago I drove through Montana into Idaho in a VW Beetle headed towards Portland Oregon. A moose like this jumped up on the road out of nowhere and I quickly snapped the steering wheel back and forth and missed the moose by inches.

If I would have been any slower with my reaction I may not even be here to tell you the stories, very nice photos you have there!

VB ;o)

Hi Gerry - It's another great Monday to enjoy your Moose photos. I go by a Mel Moose from time to time so I hope bring my camera with me soon so that everyone can enjoy him.

Hi Gerry ~ Too funny - I read it as "thirty moose" and I was expecting a herd. What a beautiful photo - the colors are mesmerizing and I always like a good moose photo!

Liz

That guy is enjoying his Sunday afternoon in his private oasis !!!!

Love these shots !

Cheers Gerry !

Great lush green spot for a moose to hang out in! Beautiful stuff!

I love seeing moose and the scene is gorgeous. Thanks,..wish I was driving by there.

Hi Gerry

Great photographs, we think this is the only way to shoot nature, leave it behind for others. What camera are you using a point and shoot or SLR.

That's just sweeeeet Gerry! Very nice photograph, actually it's extremely peaceful :) You always seem to be in the right place at the perfect time.

Hi Gerry, I love Yellowstone! What a fantastic shot of the thirsty moose.

Vegas Bob,

Thank you for the comments and for sharing your story. That was a close call but we sure are glad to have you here.

Marc,

Please do share some Mel moose from Toronto. Thanks for visiting this Moose Monday.

Liz,

I am glad you like theses ones. I do have a photo with thirty or more deer but no more than two moose in a photo so far. I don't think moose like to hang out in big groups.

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!

Debra,

Thanks for visiting this post. It sure nice and green where I spotted this moose.

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.

Al and Peggy,

Thank you. I use a point and shoot. Kodak EasyShare Z812 IS to be exact.

Cynthia,

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.

Absolutely stunning photos, Gerry! I wanna see a MOOSE! Whaaa! Whaaa!

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.

Debi,

Thanks. I am encouraged by your comment and I see many more moose posts to come. :)

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.

SEP

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

VB ;o)

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.

SEP

Joan,

Thank you for the positive comment.

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.
