A couple from Algonquin.

Nice set! The 2nd for me.

Thanks Brian. That one scared the crap out of me. Didn't know she was there. Was too busy keeping my distance from the one crossing the road when she moved behind me.

Nice set. Are the moose dangerous?

Thank you!
Only if they charge you, or you hit them with your car. I'm not as close as it looks although I was a little to close to one without knowing it. I just watch their ears. if they lay flat, I'm too close. If they start pawing the ground, I'm too close. I just keep a safe distance. I was keeping my car between me and the moose crossing the road. When I pulled over, he was on the other side of the road, wasn't expecting him to cross. Unfortunately, the tourists up there are idiots and will think nothing of getting too close or even better, trying to put their toddler on the moose's back for a picture. yes, that really happened.

I like these shots. I've always wanted to visit Algonquin. My in-laws are in Bobcaygeon and I keep saying I'm going to check out Algonquin while visiting one of these times.

Thank you! Algonquin is gorgeous. I try to go twice a month. If you go, let me know, I'll let you know where the fox are.

Love the fox shot... looks like she's smiling right at the camera. The meese are neat too; they're one animal to keep on the far end of a LONG lens!

Awesome shots!

MSnowy · May 6, 2016

Real nice set!

Nice set.

Yup, some of the tourists are more dangerous than the Moose ... sometimes they suddenly stop in the middle of the highway (the road that goes through Algonquin is highway 60) ... or, as Barb mentioned, want to get real close to get selfies ... even when there are younglings and parent Moose in the same area.

Barb, where were you with the Fox ?

I could not get her to back up enough to get a better shot. This was taken with my 40mm lens. She just wanted to be close to me.

People stop in the middle of the road ALL THE TIME! Drive me absolutely nuts. We've reported moose jams so seriously dangerous that the rangers have gone to break it up. People sometimes have no common sense. Again, I am not as close as it looks and when I saw the moose behind me, I moved.
The fox are on Arrowhon. I was off the road in the woods with her. Dad comes to see me all the time. This was my last visit with him. He poses very nicely. Mom is usually with the babies or hunting right now so is pretty scarce. I was really surprised to see her and even more delighted to spend some time with her.
