Moose Monday

When the moose cow and calf were hanging around near our house, I watched the calf closely one day through a telephoto lens. First, he scratched his face with his rear hoof.
And then, he shook, like a dog does after going in water.

He ended his "shake" by sticking out his tongue!
One of the very nice things that I learned about Shyla during the moose visit was that she's a very calm and quiet wildlife watcher. She'd gladly sat close to me while I watched the moose from afar through my telephoto lens.
R doesn't have the patience for this role but I'm glad that Shyla does!

    I'm glad she does, too! It's a good time to be cautious and patient.

    You're a very smart girl to observe mooses while staying close to your mom, Shyla.
    Good girl!

    Good for Shyla. We'd probably try to chase them and end up getting charged.....although, if we got up close and saw how big they are, we might run away!

    Sitting patiently is a great quality in a dog. Way to go Shyla.

    Crikey ...... Mum would love it if I was patient like that. I'd be off like a rocket after them. She sure looks calm and thoughtful in that last photo.
