...Destination MOOSE!

"Life is a journey, not a destination."

Last weekend was our yearly trip to NH/Maine... We stay in Kittery, ME and while DH goes to work (part time photographer for one of the race magazines) the race in Loudon, NH, I do a little shopping at the outlets and a little vegging by the pool. It's a win/win situation! I have been going to VT-NH-ME at least once a year for the last 20+ years... and never seen a Moose! This year we decided to tack a couple of days onto our trip and go on a 'Moose Hunt' (with camera - NOT gun!!)

Oh, what a journey it was!!

We saw...
TONS of Lupine (about a week past peak!)...


Detoured to the top of Mount Washington...
Deer...

Turkeys! (although I'm sure the moose were hiding, snickering, and saying the same of us!!)...


and a Red Fox,
and another Deer,
and more turkeys,
and a rabbit...

DH and I joke "If we keep stopping, we'll never get to see anything" (quote overheard many years ago of a Father scolding his kids for gawking at a waterfall!!).


and Finally...
Isn't she a Beauty?!!
Now, we want to see a male, with horns! (The journey MUST continue!!)
It was an AMAZING 6 days!

Upon our return home...

EBOR!
(see previous post.)
But, there were many 'Lovelies' awaiting us too!

Beautiful photos. I've never seen a Moose, that's for sure! Looks like you had a fabulous time. RIP Fred, and I'm sorry. We hd a gold fish named Sawyer for 8 years and we loved that guy. He was 10" long when he died. RIP Sawyer and Fred.
