Alaska queen reigns

I’ve NEVER seen a moose, let alone a moose calf. This isn’t an image I’d ever considered before! I actually had to look up moose calf on google!!

hey, Jessie – here’s an old pic (2009) I found in my flickr account. Mama moose and twins. I haven’t seen any yet, this year, but they’re around.

Alaskan Queen indeed. She is a formidable monarch.

This is very descriptive.
..and this reminds me, I just saw a moose track today (which is not as neat as the moose itself but the closest I can get to the real thing. )

An Alaskan Haiku…I have never read one before! But, this one is very evocative of Alaska, and very descriptive! I like it
