Like them all. The moose looks small if you look at the rack, but BIG bodied! I would like to see him in the Fall.
Thanks, Chief! His antlers are just coming out of velvet.

Well if that's the case then he won't have a bigger rack this season. Just give him a few years.

Nice shot. Hope you are careful around the moose. I hear moose are easily made irritated. Looking forward to seeing more from your beautiful neck of the woods.

Thanks, that shot was at about 390 mm. Plenty of time to run (LOL).

As discussed in prior posts, my journey to Alta Ski Resort did not result in the large fields of various wildflowers I had expected. The hail storm did its damage, but some yellow flowers and the local wildlife did stay around for some photo ops.
Most shots were with my Sony 2.8 24-70 GM lens, but the moose was shot with the Sony 4.5-5.6 100 - 400 GM lens.

Nice set of images Mike.

When the shots are weak, you talk fast, MT.
