MOOSE ON THE 200 ROAD

Looking back down on Okanagan Falls and the southern tip of Skaha Lake from the first viewpoint

Shuttleworth Creek Canyon was in the center of the major forest fire last summer

A busy little snow melt creek

My reflection is in all the bubbles

Can you see the tongue?

Reaching up for pussy willows 

This moose was very cooperative, we found the sweet spot of its comfort zone and I was able to shoot photos and videos until I was done.

 

DID I SEE REALLY BIGFOOT?
