Moose!

Went hiking in the local state park a few days ago with a friend of mine... Enjoying being in nature, sitting by the river for awhile I spotted some little guppies. Watched the seagulls playing in rocks where the water was shallow. Went a bit further up the path, there's an old train bridge that crosses the river, standing out on the bridge a hundred yards or so off in the trees there's a big dark spot.

I tried getting closer taking the trail on the same side of the river the moose was, and decided that was bad idea. So I went back over the bridge and down the river on the other side to try and get some better pics, and maybe some video. I was really excited, this is my first time spotting a moose!

I finally got down into a good area, and got a few pics and some video! Turns out there were three of them! A mom, dad, and baby moose!  lol. The video isn't the best in the world, I took it with my phone, but I hope you enjoy it! Check out my YouTube channel, or other entries for more videos.

The Great and Powerful!

I thought it was pretty awesome to see a new "Wizard of Oz" movie coming out...my first thought was that maybe they were remaking the original. As much as I love the original movie, and Judy Garland would be difficult to replace... the things they could do with a new movie would be grand.

But no, its not a remake, but a new movie entirely. Oz: the Great and Powerful! In this installment:

Disney's fantastical adventure Oz The Great and Powerful, directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot--fame and fortune are his for the taking--that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity--and even a bit of wizardry--Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

Check out the trailer below.

The Great Outdoors!

Like many people, one of the things I love to do to relieve stress is get out into nature. There are few things more relaxing, and more able to bring you back to center then spending some time "away from it all".
