During our pro-pho permit tour in Denali NP in
August 2003, we were fortunate enough to find moose feeding in kettle ponds at
dawn out in the Wonder Lake end of the park. This particular girl had been
feeding away for some time while we watched and filmed her; at last, she swam
over to our end of the pond (see the painting "Bathing Beauty") and
slowly began to emerge from the water - headed straight for us. A large cow
moose coming right at you feels very intimidating, so we grabbed our gear and
quickly beat a retreat. This painting is about that moment. |
