Meece!

So we're upstairs a few minutes ago -- me on the computer, Orion playing video games on the projector wall -- and I looked over the railing down to the picture window looking out at the backyard, and OMG MOOSE! A mama and a little calf, right outside the window, just fifteen or twenty feet from me.

By the time I finished flailing at Orion and we got our cameras and ourselves downstairs, the moose had moseyed a little ways farther on, but we still got to watch them grazing for a while and took some not-so-sharp pictures in the midnight semidarkness. (Yes, these pictures were taken at midnight, with natural lighting ... a month after the summer solstice. We are far north, we are.)
