Friendly Neighborhood Moose

Back in March, we found out a moose was living in our neighbor’s backyard (two doors down from us, and the green house you see in the background of some of these photos). About ten days into his stay, he ended up in our driveway. We watched him work on the trees in the yard above, and when he moved deeper into the yard, I ventured out with my camera. We danced around each other for a bit, and I was ready to dash inside at a moment’s notice, but he wasn’t looking for trouble so much as food as the vegetation was beginning to bloom. He was a mangy yearling, but it was still really cool to be so close to him.
