Mighty Moose

The tiny black fly is the only thing that can terrify the might moose of Northern Ontario into the open, weighting in at over 800 lbs and standing over 6 feet at the shoulder.

Your comments and favs are always appreciated!

Great catch- I don't know if I'd be so awestruck I'd forget to take the shot or I'd be snapping away. It must have been amazing to see this.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wow, he is so cool looking. Excellent capture.

[KWind]

Wow... he's big! Cool shot.

[Milanie]

Oh my goodness - he's a big boy!

[summerfield]

looks like you got pretty close to him, or he got pretty close to you, kathy. if i see this guy, i'd probably shrink so he doesn't see me, never mind the photo. :-)

[Louise & Ken]

Simply an amazing photo! A moose shot of any sort is one to be shared...and I'm so glad you did!

@mccarth1 Thanks Kerry for the comment, while driving through the northern woods this moose was on the side of the road probably escaping the black flies. As we approached him he slowly walked back into the woods, looking back occasionally to check on us. I took this photo right from the car window in the rain and fog.

[Candace]

What? Not a spider? Cute capture!

[Catherine]

Love this photo - almost sepia! He is looking straight at you.

[Joyce]

Wow! What a wonderful shot. Fav

[Francoise]

driving around where you live has its safari elements

[Margaret Obey]

I love the tones, and the look we're getting!

[Francesca Ciarrocchi]

Great capture!

[Kas]

Excellent capture. I was lucky to see a moose on my first trip to Canada many years ago.

[Joan Robillard]

I know if you go up around Rangley this time of year you have a very good chance of seeing a moose on the road driven there because of the flys.

[Mrs. Laloggie]

You do see the best wild life!

[Jeffrey D Sims]

Wow

[Stephanie Swift]

How great that you were able to get close enough to this giant for a shot.

[Lisa Stein]

Oh my! Amazing capture! fav

[Nova]

How exciting to see this guy up close (from the security of your car). I'd flee from the blackflies too. :)
