The BLISS LIST is the catagory where I'll be posting photos and thoughts which contribute to my bliss.  Little things and big things that make me grateful to be alive.  The moments, the people, the places, and the nature of all living things that break the monotony of all consciousness and allow me a glimpse of spiritual serenity.

The moose is my spiritual totem, and I treasure their visits.  Its been a long, snowy winter in Maine, and early yesterday morning was the first time that this pair showed up in my front field.  They look a bit worse for wear, but now that they're out of the yards, they'll fatten up and grow new coats in no time.  This appeared to be a cow with yearling calf.   I speak to them in a soft voice as I photograph them, thanking them for their patience and assuring them of their safety.  They seem to enjoy posing; and they hang around longer than one would expect.  The sun was just rising through the trees; what a glorious start to my day.  If you like these pics; rest assured there will be many more to come from now until late fall.
