You never know what you will find hidden in the willows is what this guy was probably thinking when he noticed we were peeking in from the edge of his terrain. It always amazes me just how easy a creature the size of the moose can disappear from your sight with a simple step or two into the willows. Photographed near Cottonwood pass in Colorado.

This amazes me too, Mike. This guy has to be about 800 pounds, and yet he was hidden. A real beauty you found, thanks for sharing this fantastic photograph.

Hi Jet and I hope your week is going well. Moose have a way about them they are able to move just two feet and go from exposed to well hidden in the willows.
