Moose Flies

It is hard to see the flies around his nose and neck, but they are there.  You have to wear lots of repellant to keep the black flies off you! This was taken at one of the many ponds close to Kokadjo, Maine.  These photos are quite tricky to take with a dipping moose and a moving canoe.  I wish I could do this everyday.

Moose on the Run

I thought I would show another moose photo or two until I finish website construction.  This was taken in Maine on a pond near Moosehead Lake.  The cow stood there for the longest time letting me take pictures and then decided she was no longer comfortable and took off quickly.  My camera was faster!

Fishing Moose at Moosehead Lake in Maine

I have to admit to a fettish - it is photographing moose!  I think they are the coolest animal on the planet - the slow loris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLdQ3UhLoD4 is pretty neat, too, however, this is my favorite.  John and I were in a canoe with a guide for this one.  This moose didn't care at all that we were almost on top of him and I was in heaven snapping away.  Taken June 3, 2009.
