Happy New Year Everyone!
A young bull moose walked through my yard.
He nibbled at the birch tree tips.
Then the snow on the branches fell on him.
He didn't seem to mind and kept on munching.
You can see some the snow falling in the above photo.
Snow on his head and antlers.
Even a small dot of snow on his butt!
Double vision as he walks away.
These photos were taken in Alaska through my window that needs cleaning. This last one is when he got close to my window. I wonder which baby he was that came through my yard as a little calf with his mom, there has been quite a few in the last so many years.
Where the deer and yak
can also play!

We have deer, 40 some odd wild turkey with an albino female who is quite aggressive. Raccoons, 4 ferals we set up a sanctuary shed/chicken coop for. Many turtles in the pond. (No gators or moccasins.) We cull those dangerous ones.
But there is something quite magical about a moose sharing your homestead.
Just awesome stuff right here @shasta
Thanks for always supporting my goofy Hive postings. I do appreciate it!
Sammi Jo does too.!
She is never far from me. This is a live shot as I type this...
Happy New Year π β€ @krazzytrukker! and Sammi Jo! :-)
It really is magical to see the moose walking through, I got my computer
screen where I can also look out the windows. I don't miss much except
when its dark out, but then the dogs let me know somethings out there!
We don't have racoons, snakes, fleas, ticks here but we do have a lot
of mosquitos, but only during summer!
Awe I love the photo you included! You are very welcome and
thank you also! πΎ π±
Thank you very much! Happy New Year π β€ @pixresteemer! :-)

Enjoyable.
Its a truely magnificent environment, I do have to be honest and say Ive got a little envy in me.. I wish I can experience such snows atleast once in my lifeππ
Yeah I didn't notice that till I looked at the photos lol
You will have to come visit someday in the winter! :-)

Happy New Year my friend π β€ @annephilbrick! :-)
It sounds fantastic to see a glimpse of an awesome moose in your yard my friend all around the snow. You had a great photography, by the way. There is no snow here in my side and how I wish I could experience it one day, hehe. Happy new year to you and your family dear. Best regards and take care.
Happy New Year π β€ @pinkchic! They are really awesome
to see and easier to see with all the snow! I hope you
get to see some snow someday! :-)
Hope the new year is great for you and your family
my friend!
I am grateful for your beautiful wishes my friend. Hehe, hopefully I could experience it too. The feeling is mutual and I hope you are having a great year with your family. Keep safe.
I recently saw one drop their antlers. I wonder what happens to them like how long do they take to decompose?
Happy New Year π β€ @shakavon! :-)
Wow that must of been cool to see!
I'm not sure how long they last once they fall off,
I know mice and critters will gnaw on them.
I didn't know they were edible π
You are so lucky to have these beautiful animals in your yard.
My son was in Steamboat Springs (Co.) a few days ago and saw a moose!
Lovely pictures, @shasta
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year π β€ @agmoore! :-)
I do love seeing them come through!
How awesome your son got to see a moose too!!
Thank you my friend!
Happy New Year, Shasta, to you and yours. π A lovely visitor to start the New Year. Are you sure that is snow on his rear. π π
Happy New Year π β€ @redheadpei to you and yours also!
I'm pretty sure it was snow, but I didn't get that close
to be really sure lol :-)
