Charm ☀ Entry For The Reflection Hunters Contest
First moose on the left is Mom, second moose is Precious, third moose is Charm. I was thinking of the old saying, third times a charm!
This cow moose and her twin calves were walking through a wet area in Alaska. The calves are yearlings and will soon be on there own when mom has another calf. Made for a nice reflection as they walked by.

BEER.So far on my trip I have seen one ladymoose cross the highway. My first moose ever! She was exquisite.
I like how you name your moose buddies.
Awesome! That must of been so exciting to see your first moose!!
I'm still excited each time I see them lol
I've been enjoying your trip ❤ @corvidae! Looks like great weather
until you hit the rain! You are making real good time on those many miles!
I hope I get to see more. I'm currently in Valdez (it takes a while to catch up on posts) and it's raining like a mofo. Does it usually rain this much up here in August? My gawd! I had to buy new rain gear.
Wow already in Valdez, when do you think you will be heading to Homer?
Be cool to see you when you go by! :-) Oh yes it can rain a lot after summer
solstice, usually the few weeks before solstice is the clearest here on the
Kenai peninsula. But then its real dry and need the rain to turn it green.
Then it doesn't stop and eventually turns to snow lol
The best time for autumn colors is the first couple weeks of September.
Gonna stay for winter?
Definitely not staying for winter, lol. Actually I'm already home, now. There was a lot of rain in Homer but I did get a few glimpses of the amazing backdrop!
I might visit Anchorage in February for the dog sled thingy and to skate on a pond.
Awesome to hear you made it back ❤ @corvidae!
I was wondering if all was ok when I didn't see any postings
from you for a number of days. Love your posts btw! You
have a great way of describing the experience! I really enjoy
reading them! What day did you make it to Homer?
A winter visit how cool is that! ❄ Pun intended lol :-)
We were in Homer the 11th-13th of August. We camped at the Homer Spit Campground. It's a neat little strip on the spit, with all the shops!
I'm glad you enjoy my posts! I'm still getting used to being grounded so it's been hard to get myself to finish the next one since all I want to do is spend my time outdoors. I miss seeing so much sky all day long, even when it was grey.
I had a hunch you would be down this way around that
time, The 11th is when I had day surgery to get my eyes fixed!
That's one thing that always amazes me most is the
huge sky here! The Homer Spit is awesome to visit, lots of
eagles and sometimes whales spouting and the mountains
are so pointy across the bay. There use to be a lady there
called The Eagle Lady, she was the only one allowed back
then to feed them.

Enjoy the outdoors while ya can! :-)
I saw that there was a book about her! Now I kinda wish I had bought it. I know I can online, but it's not the same as actually getting it in her stomping grounds.
Eagles are sharp, and I don't just mean smart. She was brave to develop trust like that.
She looks like an eagle in that picture on the wikipedia link. I wonder if I will look like a crow when I get older..?
Congrats on your new eyes!
Moose on the move haha We have been watching a fox and here two kits near our home. Seems twins are quite common in nature. I'm glad my kids were a few years apart 😅 don't know if we could've handled twins
How cool to see foxes! not seen one down here yet, but
did years ago up north on a trip to Fairbanks.
Ya know sometimes moose can have triplets!!
Amazing pictures with reflections! Glad to see you @shasta in the contest again 🤗!
Thank you ❤ @olgavita! not to often I see moose
reflecting, mostly they are in the trees and yards.
Your pictures are absolutely unique! I live in Estonia, a northern country too, so I know how rare can be such a chance. My sincere congratulations to you 💗!
Simply beautiful. As always
Thank you very much ❤ @juancar347! :-)
Great hunting @shasta, I love the moose family and their names. Who wouldn't like to be called Charm or at least be full of charm.😊
Thank you ❤ @angiemitchell! Good to see you, I've missed your charm! :-)
Aww! The twin moose calves are adorable. Noticed the siblings are not identical either. You made me wonder how common multiple births by moose occur in nature...
Thank you ❤ @ninahaskin! I think it depends on their age, one
calf, twins and even triplets sometimes!
The darker moose I think is a bull, he has a moostash, dewlap, bells.
All moose have them but on males they are bigger! lol
What a great capture @shasta. Love the reflections seeing the moose you get to see close up. 💕
Thank you ❤ @redheadpei! :-) Some get real close at times, nothing
more shocking than when one looks in your window! lol
Haha that would be a different looking Peeping Tom, Shasta. We don’t have moose on the Island but growing up in New Brunswick I would often see moose and deer in the field by the house. One time I remember going outside when it was dark and hearing a commotion of snorting and loud rustling. I ran back into the house but it probably was a moose near the house.
