Big surprise outside my front door!

We had a visitor roaming around the neighborhood yesterday morning...

We have a townhome in Winter Park, Colorado and moose sightings are now actually common. I saw three while riding last weekend and two just this morning.

The pictures were taken at a safe distance and quick access to a door. I’m neither brave nor stupid.

Last weekend, on the other hand was a bit scary as I stopped on the trail as one big bull crossed 15-20 feet in front of me. I judiciously placed myself behind a few trees while waiting for him to amble away. When that was not happening, I turned my bike around to ride home the long way and about soiled myself to find another, smaller, bull had come up about 25 feet behind me without me even hearing him. It is amazing how stealthy these monstrously large crittes can be.
