An Evergreen Encounter Tote Bag

I went searching for the sunrise, but the surprise came on the way home.
As we drove down the mountain, two moose crossed the road: a mother and her calf. I turned around, hoping they might still be nearby. What I hadn’t expected was the backdrop God had waiting for me.
Evergreens surrounded them, and soft, cloudy light made the scene feel like something from a fairy tale. It was the first time I had photographed moose against a setting like this, and I loved how dreamy it felt.
Whenever I encounter wildlife, I find myself wondering about their lives. Where do they wander? What do they see and smell along the way? Where do they settle down to sleep? No matter how much time I spend watching, it never feels like quite enough.
Before leaving, I did what I always do: waved goodbye and wished them a good life. Then I headed home, thanking Jesus for the encounter.
This tote carries a photograph from that unexpected meeting, a little reminder that sometimes the loveliest part of a journey is the surprise on the way home.
