We went to the new Alaska Islands & Oceans Visitor Center. They have exhibits of sea birds and mammals of Alaska and much interesting information, some dating back a couple hundred years. Also, there is a film of how they use their research and supply ship. This is one place a visitor to Homer needs to include. There is also a nature trail. After visiting the center we drove several of the roads around Homer. On the East End Road we were able to look across the bay to mountains with glaciers. We went around a curve and there was this moose. She was right next to us when I got stopped. I had the telephoto lens on my camera and she was actually too close to use it. She was down in the ditch and the grass between us makes her look blotchy. The above picture was taken when we drove up on their Sky Line Drive. From an overlook we could see this view of the town and the spit we are parked on, with the bay and the mountains in the background.
