Surprise, I am out hiking again. I never got tired of getting out in the mountains, or in the forest, (Hope you also like it a little). You never know what happen, expect peace and a sense of freedom. On one of my trips out this spring the 12 of May, I was lucky to observe a moose or elk with a calf.

It had snowed a little during the night, it was still remains of melting snow on the ground.

The goal was a point of view above the tree line.

The trail up goes through some old forest.

In the end of this little "valley" my wife observed the moose above us. As usual i was behind looking for motives to take pictures of. In Norway, and maybe we call the moose the king of the forest. It is one of the biggest wild animals as live here north.

Luckily the moose was curious and stood watching us from a distance. We didn't want to disturb or frighten the moose. I got a picture from around 50 meters. It is taken with 105 mm lens. I also zoomed further inn on my computer. If you look a little carefully you can see the moose behind the trees.😄

I shall not mention the weather, but as usual this May it was a cloudy and a pretty cold day. The uphills made me warm enough though.

Old and almost untouched forest has its own charm with old and mossy trees.

We passed an anthill. I was to early to see ants. A little more sun and warmth and it will come to life.

This place is very different with so many old trees and very old atmosphere. The view from the top is staggering! Nero never gets tired of hiking! Super fit doggie! That moose is big!!

Nero love sniffing around when out. I don't think he ever will be tired:-)

Nero is my hero on the mountains! Four legs beat those with two! Hahaha.

yes always 😂
