Moose with sky

I got this shot of blind Moose the other day when I was taking photos for our spring newsletter.  Because he always hangs his big head down low — must weigh a lot, eh? — it's tough to get a photo of him with his head up.  So I got down low and put the camera down even lower.  I wasn't sure what I was going to get … but with the kind of digital SLR camera I have, you can just hold the camera out away from you and click-click-click and then see what you get.  Sometimes it's … well, not too great!  Other times you can have a little bit of photographic serendipity happen and get an interesting shot like this.

Now, if only I had the graphic skills to add in a little cartoon bubble over his head and a line about what he was thinking as I was doing this…. (As in, "Could you please put the stupid camera away and take us inside for dinner?")

    Moose is such a handsome and sweet guy. This is a great picture of him. Why anyone would abandon a dog like that is beyond me. Thank goodness he’s safe and sound at the Ranch!

    Thanks for the photo of that handsome man Moose. I fell in love with him when you first posted about him and am so glad to see his face again! Please give him a ginormous hug from me and my kids, both the two and four-legged varieties!

    Great photo, you need to post info about the Shelter Challenge on Facebook, it will show up to everyone who’s a friend but doesn’t check your blog as much.

    He looks gentle and beautiful – and such a beautiful background of snow and blue sky. Wish I could give him a big hug.

    I don’t think he is thinking of dinner as much as he is thinking he is one blessed and lucky dog to be living at your house! I mean he is serious, isn’t he?

    “No autographs, Please!” would be an alternative in his cartoon bubble. He’s a mighty fine looking young man. A big smooch on the mouth, Moose!
