    In 21 minutes of this video, there was more drama, storytelling, suspense, action, and exceptional cinematography than the last three Disney Star Wars movies combined. Great video Erik. Thank you.

      They usually are way more shy. Definitely a confident young fella this one. I think Erik was happy that the mother was not tagging along, because a protective adult moose can be dangerous

The rebirth of life, the sun rising higher in the sky, the warmth coming down on the cold earth, longer days, birds singing in the early morning, the awakening. It is a phenomenon that may be unmatched anywhere in the Universe. Never take it for granted. You will not get to experience it even a 100 times in your life. Take the time to appreciate each one. Peace to all of you.

    I run and exercise with minimalist foot wear all the time now, so it's a logical choice for me.
