I have much to learn about golf. This golf putting green was at Christina Lake, Canada.

Moose Staring at Drew
Ok, so yesterday, one mile from the trailhead, as I am walking back to my car, I turned around and observed a large very black moose up the side of the hill. He was staring me in the face. I was going to change lenses on my camera, but decided to quickly get out of there. On the way back I met some other hikers, so I brought them back to the moose spot. As we turned the corner in the canyon, there is the moose, in the middle of the dirt road, looking straight at the three of us. I quicky put the telephoto lens on my camera and hid behind the other hikers and quickly took two pictures. Then I said “Bye” and headed down the trail! I just did not want to have to hide behind a tree as one is supposed to do when charged by a moose. One of the hikers was an experienced moose hunter! So did not feel bad leaving. We were near the Little Spokane River north of Spokane.
See more moose sightings. The moose below were not staring me in the face. These were photographed in the same area a few weeks ago.

While with my wife, son, daughter, and grandson I took this photograph in San Diego. No special close-up lens and no special lighting, just standard sunlight on a beautiful day in San Diego.
We get depressed, but God is never depressed. We get low, but God is not low. We get worried, but God is not worried. Our anxiety and concern level gets high, but God is not worried.
God is very confident that He can finish the work He started in You. Philippians 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ: God does not get discouraged when He looks at us and observes us. God is not discouraged when we fail. He already knows we will fail. He knows the purpose He created each of us for and never gives up on us.
I do a lot of hiking, walking and praying on various trails in the Spokane area. This past Saturday morning, I encountered two moose about 5 miles apart. So I think it is time to document all my moose encounters. These cute “little” animals are almost twice the height of my car!
Here are my six moose encounters:
1. When Olive Tree was in my home, (about 5 years ago) those working in the basement saw a mommy and baby moose in the back yard. I tried to take a picture but it was too dark and my old camera was just not doing well.
2. When I was hiking a 7 mile loop around a mountain, a moose came between me and the trail back to the parking lot. I was 20 feet from the moose and he was as startled as I was, but he did not charge. I had to choose between walking back the other way (about 6 miles) or hoping the moose would vamoose. After 3 frantic phone calls (including a wrong number to the park ranger), the moose wandered up the hill — a big sigh of relief!
3. Once, upon returning from a hike at dusk, I heard noises in the brush near my car. I looked up and discovered I was 10 feet from a large moose. Fortunately there was a fence separating me from the moose, so I did not have to test my tree-climbing abilities.
4. While enjoying a hike with my grandchildren near the Little Spokane River, a moose was observed in the river. We were about 40 feet from that impressive animal.
5 and 6. This Saturday morning I saw two moose that had just crossed the road in front of my car. Both times I tried to quickly stop and grab my camera, but the moose kept moving. The picture above is the first moose I tried to photograph as he was quickly moving away.
