No moose yet, but plenty of signs. Here is a moose track. It's 6 inches long by 4.5 inches wide, which is how I know it's a moose (elk tracks are about 4 X 4 inches).
I also found these bones which are too big to be from anything but a moose.
I've also seen some more beautiful wildflowers lately. These lovely calypso orchids (called fairy slippers) grow in moist places (the first picture is sideways):
We also found some wild white violets:
Ok, these are not wild, but beautiful and interesting nonetheless. They are from the yucca that Matthew and I dug out from the front of our house (it was protruding onto the sidewalk and posed a danger to society, according to the City of Louisville). The interesting part is that the flowers bloomed a week after we pulled the plant out of the ground.
And now, I leave you with this hoverfly, contemplating life from his blade of grass:
