My friend Mark and I were supposed to drive back to Toronto last night, but we were both too tired at the end of the work day, so we decided to leave early this morning.
Our reward? Moose! 3 of them, not far from the side of the highway, just grazing among the grasses. Neither of us had ever seen moose before. We’d been warned to watch out for them on the highways, particularly at night, because they’re rutting at this time of year, which makes them a little nutty. Moose are big, and in my little compact car, they have a better chance of walking away from a crash than I do, so I was much happier to encounter them this way than in a head-on collision on an unlit northern highway in the middle of the night.
And so, photos:
