  1. The moose looked pretty healthy, not covered with ticks. All beautiful pictures. Thank you.

  2. Thanks, Steve & Jim, for giving us the moon & the stars. If left alone, I wonder how the hornets will fare with their choice of nest site. A single red leaf – awesome! Thank you, all.

  3. Thanks for sharing such beautiful photos…especially the picture of the timberdoodle. I have never heard of such a bird…always nice to learn something new!
