The Wildlife Paparazzi

I did it!
I usually don't!
Sooner or later we all do it!
Got out at the traffic jam
near the intersection of
Gros Ventre Road and U.S. 89
A bull moose and two lady moose
were taking a nap in the sage brush.
Everyone was nice and the conversation
with people from all over was interesting.
I picked up a lot of info on what and where.
So we all stood watching the moose with
cameras waiting and whenever the moose moved
the shutters clicked almost in unison.
You would have thought we were watching Lindsay Lohan
arrive to do her public service time.
And I was proudly standing out there with my kind!
Clicking away at the moose.
It turns it's head one way!
Click! Click! Click!
It turns it's head the other way!
Click! Click! Click!
It does nothing!
Click! Click! Click!
Had to do it one time.
The people around me were nice
and I had fun!
No hunters were lurking and
the animals were unafraid.
I would do it again!
Oh no!
Am I a Wildlife Paparazzo?
