i've seen a few moose before, but none as near as this lovely old lady who we came across chilling out in the snow in Peter Loughheed Provincial Park - although the picture looks like it was snapped from a few feet away, we were in fact hiding in the trees to avoid disturbing the creature! The photo was shot at the long end of my 300mm lens & out of 50 odd pictures i snapped, only a handful came out anywhere near decent - it was snowing quite hard & the fact that we were in the dark forest & the moose was in the snow didn't really help.
It was all-in-all a bit of an outdoorsy weekend - what with the continued mild weather (the snow above was way up in the mountains), it would have been a shame to waste such a glorious weekend.
Sounds like I missed a good old fashioned cup tie at The Valley, what puzzles me is how we lose a good 6-8000 fans for these games, it's as if some Charlton fans only turn up to watch Premiership games & don't care about the "insignificant" FA Cup. I remember in the olden days when the FA Cup games almost unfailingly drew the biggest home gates of the season, irrespective of the opposition. I have a funny feeling this will be Charlton's year - perhaps I should book a hotel in Cardiff for May & a return flight home - lets see who the draw provides us with later today.
I've added a new song to the player today, I am loving exploring & listening to some old British Folk Rock at the moment - generally music releeased between let's say 1967 & 1972 including bands/artists like Steeleye Span, Shirley Collins. Pentange/Bert Jansch & of course the Fairport Convention - yes, yes it did all mutate into horrible prog rock nastiness eventually but there is still much that is eclectic, inventive & interesting about the music these people produced in the late sixties & early seventies
Fairport Convention - Autopsy
