Mother and Child

 

A recent trip to Canada this summer had us hoping to see a variety of wildlife.  Moose was on the list, of course.  One rainy morning we headed to Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park.  On our way in we spied this cow and calf foraging in the bogy ponds to the side of the entrance road.

 It is astonishing how big these animals are.  You have to be impressed by the power and weight these creatures possess, especially when watching them turn and maneuver in these watery environs.
