Moose aren’t the only four-legged animals I saw near the cabin this summer. There was a group of bucks hanging around together. One day I looked out the kitchen window and there they were, all five of them! Thankfully I had my Nikon, as the phone would only focus on the screens in the window. Besides these guys already were leery and could see me even inside. If I’d tried to open the door, all I would have caught would have been deer hindquarters bounding away and boy, do they bound!
This, that and the other thing 
Wow, so close!
They certainly were, close enough to be able to see me inside, I think. That’s why I had to move so carefully.

Such handsome visitors!
They certainly were! 🙂

You lucky, lucky woman the Bachelors came calling! 🙂 They’re beautiful! What wonderful foresight you had to have your camera at the ready.
Deborah, I had the camera in the cabin and fortunately, they didn’t spook when I moved into the other room to get it. They’re rather shy bachelors. 🙂
