I wrote this moose haiku for you:
Cow moose from the woods, Your size towered over our truck, Thanks for turning back!
On the way to the lake this last weekend, a very LARGE cow moose came onto the highway as we were driving. We swerved and luckily for us, the moose on the loose decided to turn back towards the woods.
So here is a quick drawing of a moose. So very grateful that we made it to our little home in the woods safely.
So to celebrate, here is a beautiful lake sunset for you to enjoy!
Cheers! 🙂
Wow, what a sight though! I’m glad you two missed each other. Those things are monstrous!! We’ve seen them in Canada and in New England, but didn’t know they were out west as well.

Yes, Laura, I was so glad it decided to turn back. It was dusk and so we could barely see it. So thankful we didn’t hit it! We think it probably weighed over 800 lbs! It had our hearts a racing!

I bet! I saw one coming out of a clearing several yards from the road once and it scared the heck outta me! They’re gorgeous though. Just not while driving lol.

Yes, Kathy – we feel so blessed to have our little place at the woods so we can slow down and enjoy the beauty like this sunset. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊

I’ve lived in Ontario all my life (minus 2 years) and have never seen a moose on the road. Even when we drove across the country we never came across a moose. I guess I should count myself lucky because so many encounters are unfortunately deadly. I’m waiting for the washing repairman before I can head up north. Sigh!

Hi Carol! We are seeing them more on the highways unfortunately. We are usually watching for deer so this was quite a surprise! Hope you get your repairs done so you can get away soon! 😊
