OCT 23, 24 .. YESTERDAY'S NEWSPAPER.. aka YESTERDAY'S MOOSE POST..

Today's Rhetorical Question.

Do I? Don't I?

Do I? Go back and show what I changed in yesterday's Moose Post today, a day later.

It's like Yesterday's Newspaper. None of you, not a single one of you, who have already read yesterday's Post, are going to go back to see IF I changed what you read yesterday!

Or don't I and just "skip it"?

Yes! Whang It!  I am going to do what I have been contemplating.

In response to two excellent comments we received from Michael and Ginny about being careful around wild Moose, I decided to add one additional photo with the below explanation about being careful around wild Moose to yesterday's Post.

-  -  -  -  -  -  -  -

Yesterday you saw the below photo.

Yes! In the above photo, I do look pretty close to the yearling.

Ah Hah!

Today I returned to yesterday's Post and inserted the below photo that clearly shows, at least in this instance, I had our Chevrolet Suburban truck between myself and the yearling.

I originally cropped the photo of the Suburban's hood for artistic photographic reasons.

So there you have it! The Rest of the Story.

OCT 22, 24 .. A MOOSE VISIT TO OUR CONDO.. OUR 13th ANNIVERSARY OF BOBBACAPS DOXOLOGY..

Yes! 

Patti and I both know we have published "Quite a few" Moose Posts here on Google blogspot. 

It has been one full year since our last visit and Moose Post. What to do when one comes for a rare visit?

So far I, your Captain, haven't been able to successfully resist following Gullible's advice.

"Cap! Take photos and publish them!"

Dum De Dum Dum.

Patti and I were sitting in our living room today when Patti said, "Oh Look Cap, there is a moose in the green strip."

Out I dashed with my smart phone to await a young, female yearling.

Sure enough! Out from between the buildings she casually strolled.

And up the sidewalk, heading directly for Your Captain she walked.

Who knows why, but she then veered off to her left and headed out towards the parking lot. This was good news for me. Here in Alaska, IF one has a functioning brain, one does NOT encourage a close encounter with a Moose!

Not that she was "all that far away from me"!

Out to the street she headed.

No human being knows what a young, female moose contemplates, but evidently she decided to "check out who I was and what I was doing!" Back she came.

Onward directly towards me she strolled.

Suddenly, she paused, then she turned around and strolled back out toward the street.

I have returned to this Post after publishing it and inserted the below photo as a response to two comments that I received about being very careful of Moose.

Originally you saw the above photo and yes! I look pretty close to the yearling.

However, you did not see the below photo that clearly shows, at least in this instance, I had our Chevrolet Suburban truck between myself and the yearling.

I originally cropped out the Suburban's hood for artistic photographic reasons.

She stood quietly and contemplated what she wanted to do next.

Makes sense to me, she wanted to try to grab a tasty snack.

Then on up the street she headed.

Again she stopped, turned and looked directly at me!

Then a sideways glance at me.

Interesting how her front feet got crosswise! I thought only my feet did this!

Our visit was about to end.

We wonder IF even The Shadow Knows if this will be our final Moose Post!

At least for today it is!

Cap and Patti and our young Moose yearling.

Thanks to all of you so very much for you support, comments, and contributions!

OCT 26, 23 (3/3) .. CAN A MOOSE BE A "GUEST CONTRIBUTOR" TO A POST?

Rhetorical Question : Is it me or is it "The Universe" that is coming up with all of these Moose encounters? 

Two of them alive, up close and in person (OCT 18 and OCT 23) here in Anchorage. 

Now we have more Moose photos just sent to us from our Guest Contributor, Montana Dan! Dan is visiting family in Great Falls. 

I like the above title so I will "Roll with it" because it fits doesn't it? Well I think it fits!

Here we go Moose de loop. Here we go Moose de li.

From Great Falls, Montana Dan.

This Moose is out wandering in the Missouri River!

Mister Big Moose, what on earth are you doing out wandering around in the Missouri River?

I was not out wandering in the Missouri River! I was crossing it!

And? There you have it. Moose Guest Contributor - Part 3.

OCT 23, 23 (2/3) .. CAN A MOOSE BE A "GUEST CONTRIBUTOR" TO A POST?

 "Way Back" in the year 1956, there was a movie about the life of middleweight boxing legend Rocky Graziano.

The title of the movie was : Somebody Up There Likes Me.

There are days that I feel the exact same feeling :  Somebody Up There Likes Me!

The problem is this : IF I even start to attempt to recite the numerous times that my life has been positively enhanced by "Somebody Up There", it would be an impossible task. 

Here is where I am going with this. As the time passes, I keep thinking "Do I have anything to contribute here on our website?"

Then, possibly because "Somebody Up There Likes Me" I keep having events occur that I think just maybe someone would like to see them.

Witness : Many of you enjoy seeing photos of our local Moose in action.

Truth be told it is Patti, not yours truly, who sees them and squeels "Cap see the Moose".

For the second time in a few days, this just now happened.

We were sitting in our living room, looking out..

When Patti suddenly exclaimed "There is the Mother Moose again!". 

I leapt up, grabbed my smart phone and "in a twinking" Mother Moose was gone.

I then dashed out to our front porch and "caught her" as she slowly ambled past our front porch.

As I showed in Part 1, when I snapped the photos in this Post, I was standing where you see Patti standing at our Building's Front Door.

Here comes Mother Moose, slowly ambling past our porch.

Today she did not turn and come up on our porch. She just continued to walk past me heading towards our street.

Hummmm, thinks Mother Moose, I think I'll have a little snack!

And off across our street she ambles.

Meanwhile, her Spring Calf has gone to check out our next door building. Can you see her back side?

Nothing over here she decided! Over towards me and her mom she strolls.

She is on a mission!

I'm coming, wait up Mom!

Hi Mom!

There you have it! Part 2 of our having Moose as Guest Contributors!

Will there be a Part 3? 

Only The Shadow Knows!!

Smiles .. Cap and Patti
