Working Near The Backyard Pool
A man in a green t-shirt and tan work pants stands beside a table saw outdoors.
He wears a brown tool belt around his waist and holds a long wooden plank.
The table saw sits on a black folding stand on a concrete patio beside short green shrubs.
Wooden framing stands partially built against the side of a brown shingled house.
A blue bubble pool cover rests over a rectangular concrete swimming pool nearby.
Beyond the neat green hedges, distant green mountains rise under a bright blue sky.
Birch trees with white trunks stand in the background near the edge of the woods.
Suddenly, a large brown moose stands motionless right behind the row of green hedges.
The man drops the wooden plank onto the table and turns to look backward.
He takes off his tool belt and drops it quickly onto the concrete patio surface.
He starts walking fast across the narrow strip of green grass toward the pool edge.
The large adult moose watches his movements with calm and steady dark eyes.
The man steps up onto the concrete coping of the swimming pool edge.
He jumps directly down into the clear water beneath the floating blue cover.
Water splashes outward across the concrete as the man lands in the shallow pool.
Reaching Under The Pool Cover
The blue plastic bubble cover floats across most of the surface of the pool.
The man wades through the cool water toward the middle of the pool cover.
A small brown moose calf is trapped underneath the floating plastic material.
The calf struggles gently in the water while remaining covered by the blue plastic.
The man reaches down with his hands and lifts the edge of the bubble cover.
The small wet head of the young moose emerges above the surface of the water.
The calf breathes heavily and blinks its dark eyes against the bright summer light.
The man places both hands firmly around the wet body of the young moose.
The calf makes a small soft sound as the man holds its light frame.
The man lifts the small animal completely out of the chilly swimming pool water.
Water drips rapidly from the brown fur of the calf onto the pool surface.
The man carries the rescued animal in his arms toward the edge of the water.
He walks carefully through the pool toward the low concrete retaining wall.
The adult moose stands waiting near the green hedges and watches their approach.
The man lifts the calf over the concrete edge and onto the grass.
The animal had no visible injuries during the short rescue process.
Reuniting On The Grass Lawn
The man sets the young moose down carefully onto the green lawn surface.
The calf stands unsteadily on its long thin legs beside the green hedges.
The adult moose lowers its head toward the young calf in greeting.
The mother gently touches her nose against the head of the small calf.
The calf shakes water droplets from its wet brown fur into the air.
The adult moose stands close beside the small animal on the green grass.
The man steps backward away from the animals to give them space.
The calf turns its body and takes a few tentative steps forward.
It trots unsteadily past the row of tall green cedar bushes.
The young moose moves toward the white trunks of the birch trees.
The adult moose follows closely behind the calf as it moves away.
Both animals disappear together among the trees at the edge of the forest.
The man stands alone on the lawn and watches them leave the yard.
The backyard returns to complete silence under the bright afternoon sun.
The blue pool cover ripples gently as the water settles back into calm.
The construction materials remain waiting beside the unfinished wooden frame structure.
