Priceless! You keep posting special views in to the natural world that most of have never seen. The mother moose and her offspring (mooselets?) share such a creaturely comfort level with one another, close touching connections in their ordinary interaction that Western patriarchal civilization with its disdain for the (female, birthing, generative) body has robbed us of. Although I am sad for what has been taken from us as women by man-made culture, I am glad for the memory now I can hold of three moose playing in the garden spritzers. (Also I noted the moose intelligence in their play, grooming and cooling down, as well as their curiosity about inanimate toys being easily satisfied with a "no thanks" return to enjoying natural elements like air, earth and water, and one another.)
