Bull Moose In Velvet - Huge Antlers - a photo on Flickriver

Bull Moose In Velvet - Huge Antlers

            Jan & myself went for a drive this morning.
It was breezy and there was a light misty rain coming down.
We weren't sure how much we would be seeing. 
We were hoping to find a cow with calves.
Didn't happen.
We did see nine moose. 
But, no calves.
There were two other bulls that weren't quite as large as this one.
The rest were cows and young bulls.
This one was busy feeding and quite cooperative. 
He should be a "monster" by October.
I took a lot of shots and I have some poses that I like better.
But, I wanted to show the wide palms on his antlers.
Often, the bulls with large antlers have narrow palms.
I prefer the wide palms.
We also stopped and spent sometime photographing the Little Red- throated Loon.
The weeds in the lake have grown up near the surface close to the shore and she doesn't like swimming through them.
She did come and see me.
But, was a bit reluctant when she had to swim through the weeds.
