Moose Monday - Imagine Seeing These Right Outside Your Window!

Liz,

Next time I see them, I will let them know that they are very welcome in Cambridge, in your backyard.  :)

Karen,

Usually when you expect to see them, you most often set yourself up for disappoitment.   I went to Yellowstone in September hoping to spot moose and get photos to post for Moose Monday and I did not see any during the whole two days I was there.   In early October, a moose surprised me by coming within 100 yards of my house.   Let's say I was not expecting the moose but I made the most of his presence to stock up on photos for Moose Moonday.  One moose spotting is still better than none.   Unlike deer, it takes a while between moose spotting.  That what's make it very special every time I see one.

Michelle,

You would probably be speechless and glad that there is a window (a barrier) between them and you.

Myrl,

You may need to consider a vacation home here in Red Lodge to get closer to these kind of neighbors.   Despite there big size, they are not too nosy.  :)

Debi,

The tenants talked about this unexpected sighting for months after it happened.   Of course, having a couple of photos of the event displayed in your home, can only spark the conversation every time you have guests that run across the photos for the first time.  A priceless memory! :)  

Tony & Darcy,

Those are the neighbors car that can be seen in the photo.   The view is of the tenants' back yard.  But, yes, it would not be wise to get to the cars seen in the photo.

Cheryl,

I enjoyed reading your story.  I can imagine that it must have been a little uncomfortable when you were by yourself, outside the cell phone reception area, and was hearing that ticking noise outside the window.   These two moose were fairly quite and came with no antlers.  They were very peaceful. It was the tenants that were agitated and the ones causing noise with their non-stop talking (so much they were excited)!.   :)

Marc,

I can just imagine how much stir a real moose (not one of the Mel's moose) would cause in Toronto.  They may have to bring in a crew to tranquilize it in order to return it in the wild.  I do see the media trying to rush and capture it on video, a helicopter in the sky tracking him down, and lots of people scaring him from all the attention.   Thank you for the visual!  :)

Mary,

They are more interested to eat fruits off the trees than to hang around people.  If they do come between you and your car, you know for sure they are looky-loo's and that they are only interested in a vegetarian lunch.  Might as well forget about getting in the car while they are there and make better use of the time to touch back with past clients and prospects.  Going towards the car in their presence is a very risky Andre-taking and something to avoid at all cost as they are berry berry stubborn and dangerous if you cross their path.
