What a difference one letter can make. Earlier this week, a mouse was posted here; later that day, we watched a moose. There is a remarkable difference in switching the u f0r the o. The mouse is tiny, the moose is huge. Indeed, the moose is about 30,000 times heavier than the mouse.
A moose is distinctly uncommon around here and to see one walk close by was a treat. Photo by Cynthia Fraser.
The moose went for a swim and briefly turned our way. This enabled us to more easily see the spread of its beginning antlers still coated in velvet. Remarkably, moose antlers can grow up to 2.5 cm (1 inch) daily during June and July. Photo by Finn Grathwol.
The moose climbed out of the water and vanished to the upland forest.
