MEESES	Bubba waking up on the good side of his bed (luckily 4 me!)	An easy "Hanging out by Moose Lake" day	Mangy munching my neighbor's bush	What are YOU looking at? Moose Lake

Bubba Moose, his female (Natasha Moose), and a younger male (Mangy Moose) all live in the pond across the street from my house.  Yes, across the street.  People are always going down to the pond to take pictures, but the moose avoid the tourists like the plague--often going to the other side of the lake.  The pictures you see here have been collected from a couple hundred photos I have taken of them during the summer of 2002.  Also, of note, is the fact that I was often over there for an hour or longer, watching and waiting, hanging out with them, watching them eat, drink, swim, and generally be moose. The really close up shots were REALLY CLOSE UP and I do not recommend you trying this.  The one where I woke up Bubba was the last one I have taken and he really intimidated me that early in the morning, yet, he did nothing aggressive towards me.  I would hate to think that the moose "knew" me because that would be animating them a bit too much.  However, I had no malicious intent and I feel they did understand that.  They did let me get pretty close, as these photos show.  For the most part, they are not enlarged in anyway, and the best ones were taken from 10-15 feet away.  If you would like a higher resolution shot, please contact me.

The Park City Jazz Festival
August 18, 2002

Al Jarreau headlined the closing evening.  The previous evening's headliner was Acoustic Alchemy, which was held at The Canyons, in the Forum.  The opening night's headliner was Natalie Cole.  Our little Jazz Fest is getting national acclaim.  But I was only interested in Boogying Down to Al Jarreau, one of my lifelong musical heroes.  Look for this page to be over in the music section soon, but for now...

A view from the crowd	Don't cha know that we're in this love together...	This was Al going off during "Save Me" the show's opener.  I was on the third row taking this picture.
Ray Braun Trio From a side view		Of course I met him.  And he even sang to me my favorite song, which he didn't play earlier that night:  "Boogie Down."
