Quite a change from all my recent 'green' photos taken at Point Pelee, Ontario, back in May! Two days ago, on 18 November 2018, my daughter and I drove west of the city to check out a couple of Christmas Markets. Something I no longer bother to do myself, but it is enjoyable to spend a few hours with my daughter. She had a free day and was hoping we could go west, before coming back to my place and doing a bit more sorting out. I really appreciated her help, sorting and lifting. She suggested we drive a few backroads on the way, and this is one of my favourites in winter, with its gorgeous view - as long as the road is reasonably clear of snow and ice. The sun on the distant, snowy peaks was so beautiful.
Along one of the backroads, we had an interesting encounter with a female Moose and her youngster. From a huge distance, we suddenly saw an adult Moose start to cross the road, turning around to look back at the other side. Then we realized that there was a youngster who was unable to either jump over the fence or climb through it because of the wire netting that covered all the gaps. The poor thing kept walking along the fence line looking for a way to reach Mom. Eventually, the owner of the acreage came over and removed part of the fence, but the Moose didn't notice ths. Removal of another piece and - success! Over the lowered fence it jumped and joined its mother. We were so far away, not wanting to risk spooking either animal. Most of my photos were taken through the windshield, so were tinted green and blurry, but a handful were taken with the car door open and turned out OK. An interesting thing to witness and, as usual, all about timing. Right place, right time, and it was so good to see someone helping wildlife.

And now, about this picture! It's terrific and I can see why you love visiting this spot so much. What a breathtaking view!! *sigh* How lovely.
I also appreciated what you had to say, it was fun to read about your adventure and getting to witness the moose calf being reunited with its mama because of the kindness of the ranch owner. What a touching sight that must have been. Interestingly, I saw a similar situation with a fawn and doe when I was walking around our 3-mile "block"...mama had hopped a fence and couldn't understand why her baby wasn't following. Back and forth the fawn ran, trying to find a way to mama. Eventually the baby ran around the side and found a way in...it was a big WHEW from me! Always so nice to have a happy ending! :)
Anyway, thank you for visiting, and for your lovely picture, and the story and memories! Now to see the moose pictures! :)
