So I went out for a walk tonight looking for May flowers...

But all I found were these hungry moose.

1. I think I see a flower

But there seem to be some big ugly dogs in the way.

Must be amazing to live there. Being a burb' guy... all we have are Harvey and Buddy (our resident rabbits), a few rowdy squirrels, a couple of red fox, some coyotes, and a Big Barn owl that has made our backyard his/her home.

2. Well COOL!

You get real wild life!

I see stray cats sometimes...

3. Oh, deer...

By the way, those moose are quite majestic...

4. Majestic, and a trifle unnerving...

...when you come upon them on the trail. "Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide."

5. This ungulate decided to charge me

Unfortunately, Velvia in rain forest lighting is really not the best set-up for action shots, not to mention my response speed. Anyway, it was a sort of half-hearted bluff -- this was a popular trail and I suspect it was getting a bit bored with doing the territorial shtick against insignificant humans. Went back to grazing (second pic) and then decided to go hide further back in the forest to wait until I had the decency to continue on the trail (3rd pic). The first is with an 80-200 lens set at 80mm, the next two are at 200mm.
