Just minutes before I was on the phone with our daughter, telling her I was headed for a run along the Coastal Trail. As I hung up I jokingly commented that I hoped I wouldn’t fall into the water or get attacked by a moose. Paige sounded a bit alarmed. Well, you can’t really fall into the water on this trail, especially since it’s all frozen along the shore at this time of year, although a moose encounter is a definite possibility. Here’s the photographic report of my beautiful snowy run from Elderberry Park to Earthquake Park and back.

I love the photos, Dad! I DID have good reason to be concerned! :)
Next time I'll bring some moose spray Paige!
You still love trains. really wonderful photos, including the moose
Planes, trains, and maybe not so much automobiles, unlike Dad! Thanks.
I'm envious! Great photography.
Our Most Creative God got a bit carried away when He created Alaska, don't you think? A creature like a moose must be the product of a creator with a rich sense of humor.
Thanks Matt. I guess the moose serves as an exemplar that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
