16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Moose and calf

I was kayaking in a remote lake in northwestern British Columbia, Canada and was on my way back as the wind had come up unexpectedly. I heard what sounded like a large animal on the densely forested shoreline and floated closer to have a look, thinking it might be a black bear. I was surprised to see a Moose and was able to spend some time with her and her calf.
