A few minutes before it was completely dark for the evening, I spotted a few tree branches moving in the distant forest. Wind can blow branches around, squirrels can jump through limbs, and birds can also give the appearance of something bigger perhaps. But, the wind was calm and no other branches were moving, so I kept my eye on the little patch of trees through everything and a moment later I thought that I noticed some tall dark legs. Sure enough, there were two moose and luckily they walked right by me. The little one spotted me first and after a couple minutes to think it out -- he swiftly ran back to mom who was still deeper in the forest. They both came back and past me in the minutes that followed. It was so dark that I could hardly get the camera to even focus. Fun to see the pair and hopefully I see them again soon with better light.
