Autumn at the Pond

Northwest Wyoming

Limited Edition of 2500 | Artist Proof 250

What may be the perfect family portrait comes to life as a moose cow and her calf discover a bull in their midst on a pond below the Teton Range. Bull moose acquire and defend groups of females called harems during the fall rut. This calf will stay with its mother until the following spring when she gives birth. Whether or not this particular male is the father of the young one, born in late spring, is hard to discern, but the overlap in territory makes it a possibility. Cottonwoods and aspens turning golden complete this idyllic autumn scene.
