Moose and her young ones - oops, a repost

            Well, I learned a lesson from yesterday's posts!  Normally, when I add photos from my archives, I check to make sure that they had never been posted before.  This time, I didn't check - and two of my uploads are repeats!  Careless me!  I was going to replace them with never posted images, but two kind friends have left comments, so I will leave all alone.

Posting five odds and ends of photos today.  Will add the description that I wrote under a previously posted photo taken on the same trip.

"Poor quality!  I added a touch of filter in post-processing, but I'm not sure if it helped at all.  Still cute, just fuzzy.

This very distant scene, on the far side of a large pond, absolutely MADE my day on 1 June 2024!  I almost missed this beautiful Moose with her two babies, but, at the last minute, I happened to notice a brown 'blob' when all three animals were standing close together.  They didn't look like cows, and when I zoomed in on my camera to the far side of a large pond, what a great surprise I had.  At such a great distance, I couldn't get sharper images with my point-and-shoot, and that's OK.  Just so happy to sit in my car and watch this little family.

The day was spent along favourite roads, both SW and S of Calgary.  Travelled further than I had planned, which was good.  Called in at Ranchers Cafe part way through the day, for a delicious cheese burger and pan fries.  Always a treat, as these are the only times that I ever eat burgers."
