Moose Monday! Downtown Homer Alaska

Last week the air was crisp, sun was shining and the temperature was really low... like 5 degrees and less...

I was driving down Pioneer Avenue almost to work when I noticed a moose happily munching on a bush....

I pulled into the Art Shop Gallery to watch the moose make her way across the street...

I never get tired of seeing a moose in downtown Homer Alaska

Nice looking moose! I hear they can be pretty mean...
Hi Debra,
Great photos for Moose Monday. Do you see them often in Homer?
That is cool! It's funny how accustomed we can become for the nature we see every day and take it for granted - we don't have moose in Jacksonville Beach, FL, so this is unique to me!
I'm laughing out loud.
I feel like I'm watching an episode of Northern Exposure, one of my all time favorite TV shows.
Hi Debra - So Funny! Love the photos... here in Syracuse New York our temperature this morning is -negative 10 degrees (that is NOT the wind chill factor)... we do not have Moose in our neck of the woods, but white tail deer whom I am quite sure have agreed that it is too cold even for them to venture out. Alaska looks beautiful, but I'm dreaming of sandy beaches and sunshine right about now. Keep sharing!
I imagine that life in Homer, Alaska means coexisting with these beautiful creatures. Great photos!
Debra, every once in a while we hear about a wild animal coming into the city. Are they a problem around people? Nice Photos!
Debra, I'm sooooo jealous. I just love your mooses (moosi); all I can find down here is statues and pictures for Moose Monday. Wonderful pictures.
Debra,
A while back, hubby & I went camping with the specific goal of spotting a moose. They all hid from us - or wandered up to Homer to walk down Pioneer Avenue! I'm very jealous...
Yikes. Drive safe I would hate to have to bounce off one of those. They would walk away and your car would be totaled.
The closest thing to that here in Edmond, OK is once a year a local man rides horseback through the McDonald's drive thru. Not sure how I'd react to a moose taking a morning stroll!
Great pics and love that you are able to enjoy such a thing. We have coyotes occassionally or a kit fox...but no local moose. Rats!
I love it and never get tired of seeing the animals. We now have moose that were brought into the Great Smokies as a reentry program and is flourishing. Thanks for sharing.

These are the coolest pictures! I know Alaska is calling me.... :-)
We get deer in Minnesota...the think about it is they are always running with normally a few others.
Awe...she's so beautiful. It must be great living in Alsaka!
As I looked at your pictures (which are great!) I could hear the theme music from "Northern Exposure" !
Debra - Moose are so cool! They are so big in Alaska. I've been to Homer Alaska, what an awesome place. Thanks for sharing your pics. Stay warm!
We used to get a few of those in town when I lived over in North Idaho. They just walk on through and don't seem to care.
Debra - Cool Moose! Everytime I visit Maine, I always hope I'll see a Moose.....but, I never have! Thanks for sharing!
Well that is a whole different life up there in Alaska. We usually have trouble with deer running across the road here in Michigan, and you have to be extra alert when driving in rural areas at dusk, or dawn because that is when they are moving around.
Good Looking Moose......What a Great way to start a day....! Now all you need is Rocky the squirrel
Debra,My wife and I were there a couple of years ago. you live in the most beautiful state of all the U.S. states.
Wow, that must be such a beautiful place to live! Thanks for sharing!
You're sooo fortunate to live in that kind of environment...but then, it's a choice isn't it.
Hi Debra -- How cool is that? I lived in Portland, ME once and I saw a moose one time that decided to take a swim in Casco Bay. The police had to shoo everyone away so the poor, frightened thing could get the nerve to come back out and take off. We were driving down a logging road way out in the Maine countryside and came upon a moose staring at us. We slowly backed up till we were far away to give this huge animal a wide berth. Since we were in Maine, we didn't want to provide fodder for another Stephen King book! :)
OK - I gotta click the LIKE button. Coool. Literally.
Have a great week.
OMG!! I love it!!! :) Great shots!
I would love to see a moose up close and personal. These pictures are amazing.
Great pictures thank you for sharing, I wish we had a Moose Monday.
Wow, that is so awesome. I have never seen a moose in the wild let alone in town!
No coffee needed when there are sights like this to keep you alert. Nice shots, Debra!
Wow! Look at that moose! We always try to spot one when we go to New Hampshire or Maine, but haven't had any such luck. Maybe we need to come to Alaska!
Wow! Thank you all for stopping in ! I am honored by the feature and the responses... our moose up in Homer are pretty aswesome creatures... awe all co-exist pretty well... and they are here year round in our town, yards and even the highway...
if any of you are considering Alaska make sure Homer is on the list! It is a really beautiful place to live..and visit!
Again... thank you all!
That looks like it would be great on a hard roll with some spicy mustard! :-)
OMG......great pics of "the moose"
Thanks for the post this cold winter day.

He's so cute.....from afar :)
I love your moose. I am not sure what Riley Rover would do if he saw a real live moose.
Probably RUN!
Not many moose in Franklin TN. That must be so awesome.
I was in Homer in 2001 and got some great pics of a family of moose in front of the McDonald's in downtown Homer:
Way to go Debra! Congrats on the feature. People love animals , they also love Alaska and marry those two and you have us all hooked! Love it. I have to say, my first thought was also Northern Exposure but Lenn already covered that, LOL.
Hello Debra and you must have posted this right after your post about longer sunlight in Alaska ... Some great photos and I can understand why your post was featured by "The Gods" ... great work ... ;)

Again thanks to each and everyone of you! It is so nice to be back in the Rain!
Eric that is a great picture of the Moose at McDonalds.... we have had them go thru the drive thru.... long ago... Fun!
It simply blows my mind that you can be walking or driving around, and these critters are sharing clean air and space with you. . .Unbelievable!
This is so great and is one of the reasons why I want to visit Alaska!
Debra, you're so lucky to have that in the backyard. Homer and Seldovia are two of my favorite places there. In Denali one was so large I swore I could've driven right underneath her! Thanks.
Debra,
I also never get tired at looking at moose. :-)
Nice contribution by Eric too!
A great shot of the moose. I have never seen one here in Boca Raton, Fla. Some alligators.
How is the snow situation there? I drove to Alaska from Boca Raton.Fla. a few years ago, it is a beautiful
state.
