More snow and more moose

Today was another day that Ruth and I decided we just had to get out. It had been snowing since we got up and had that fresh blanket of snow look and feel. We had our usual breakfast at Peggy's Restaurant, came back home and dressed for 23°.

First stop, West Chester Lagoon on the north side. It still has some open water and some ducks looking for a hand out. We walked up the trail for a bit when Ruth spotted three moose running on the trail across the creek from us.

Something had spooked them. They calmed down, circled around for a bit and then decided that was a good place to take a nap. Mom and two calves, again. I'm not sure if they were the same ones from the other day, but it was about a mile away I saw the ones from the Moose for Meggie post.

Things had calmed down so we decided to go over to the Cook Inlet side of the lagoon. It was pretty busy with skiers and their dogs, joggers and hikers. There were lots of Ravens out enjoying the fresh snow. Those birds know how to play.


From there it was to Kincaid Park. We figured it be busy with skiers and sledders and we were right. There has to be a lot of tired kids and parents tonight. They seemed to having a blast.

We hiked down to the inlet. All along the way the fresh snow was still coming down. The spooky looking old cottonwood trees looked like they just stepped out of a holiday card.

We headed back to the truck all covered in snow. It sure was a pretty day. I was tuckered out when we got home.
