The Bull Moose

































I don't usually write two posts in one morning. The first was my spiritual thoughts for the morning. This one is in awe of one of nature's beasts not usually found in this area. As we entered the Brainerd Lake recreation area, we were told that a bull moose was near that lake. We took a detour around Brainerd Lake before heading to the trailhead for Blue Lake, our destination. The first photograph is what I could see of the bull moose there.



We went to Blue Lake, admiring flowers and scenes, as well as the lake. On the way back, hikers coming up the trail alerted us to the bull moose's presence near the trail. We watched and looked--and there he was, casually munching on bushes, ignoring the gaping hikers with our cameras. The scene shows a bit of the area where Mr. Moose was making his way. Perhaps he was heading back to cross the Continental Divide where he would usually roam.
