    This is exactly what I needed when I needed it. I went home for for lunch, fixed a sandwich and a little tomato and cucumber salad, and watched your video today. It helped me to reset after a tough morning at work. Thank you for sharing your work and your passion, and keep on keeping on. #goanddo #dothework

    My husband, daughter and I were in this same spot in August. Mama moose in the pond as well as young moose. Mama stared for a long time at the left hand corner where the forest meets the pond…and then the mama bear stepped out from the forest with at least two baby bears following her. It was the most magical and awesome experience ❤️. Thank you for sharing your hour.

    Thank you Steve for this video just brightened my day more than you will ever know. I love my Moose they are my favourite animal and could just spend hours on top of hours making photos of them and just watching them. It has not been a very good week mentally but as soon as I turned this video on my happiness overloaded my depression for 7 minutes of true joy. Thank You Steve and enjoy the days doing what makes you happy.

    A couple of years ago I emailed you about meeting for coffee since I was in the area. We didn't meet up, but the night before I emailed you, I spent 30 minutes with my 25 year old daughter at that very lake, on those very rocks, watching a moose graze. Best memory of that trip for both of us. And probably the highlight of all our trips.

    We just got back from the tetons a couple days ago, and the wildlife experience was way different this year than last year. Last year everywhere we turned we found tons of wildlife, this year I don't know if the smoke is impacting the animals but they were hard to find. Surprisingly our best luck was up along the trail towards surprise lake, which we figured with all the human traffic that would scare off the animals but we saw lots of bear and the largest stag I've ever seen!

      We were there between 8/8 and 8/10. First timers. Mesmerized by the beauty of the Tetons. Hoping to see 399 and her cubs. Only caught a glimpse of a young black bear and an elk in the woods on our way to the campground. It’s said there were bear activities between Tetons and Yellow Stone area.

    What a great way to spend a morning. This may sound a bit odd, but I was super-impressed with the dragonfly images. We have plenty of them down here on the gulf-coast but I find it very difficult to lock focus on them in flight. Thanks for sharing these moments.

    My two moose experience have been 1) 1hr+ for the most part was facing the other direction, pooped and went behind trees (only proof of seeing it type shots, nothing special) 2) spotted what didn't look like the brush around it and watched through the lens and saw the antlers move.. waited 1hr plus for him to get up in the cold/snow.. hands were so cold almost couldn't take the pics.. but did get some and even another slightly smaller bull trailed in behind him as they went off back up the mountain.. :) BTW, love the intro!

    Well, that was relaxing. I wish I was there. I go to my local pond not far from my house but there are no moose for sure. Only Egrets, Dragonfly, and birds. Geese in the Fall. Nice one Steve.

    @jonclark8271 2 года назад

    Wonderful images they don’t seem spooked by your photography.. If a bear came do you carry bear spray ? I know you want pictures but the could object. Are there particular times of day you anticipate the moose or bears deer etc at these locations - great job. I imagine in January there less out to photograph. I look for to see what turns up this winter.
