Moose cow in the Targhee National Forest – Nikon D7100, f6.3, 1/1600, ISO 500, +0.7 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light
Being in the right place at the right time can be awesome like last year being in the Targhee National Forest when a cow Moose and calf walked down a hill. They were close, so close that the cow filled my frame and I didn’t have time to remove my teleconverter so in a few images parts of her legs were clipped but I still had enough pixels to crop and have a few portrait shots of the cow with her sleek, shiny summer coat.
I’m heading up to Idaho and Montana today and maybe I will run across this Moose or her calf while I am there. Who knows?
Life is good.

Nice portrait Mia. Have a good trip north. Maybe the Mosquitos won’t be as bad there.
Utahbooklover, the mosquitoes near the water are bad but better than they have been on Antelope Island.
Thank you
Wow. Love that elegant face and the glossy coat.
Holy cow! Literally!!! You take some of the most amazing close up portraits!!! She’s a real beauty, dressed in her finest silky coat…what a pleasure to see such a healthy animal….
