Some moose in Colorado were feeling a little festive after they were spotted frolicking in a lake amid vibrant, fall leaves.

The autumnal scene played out near Steamboat Springs, Colorado, in early October.

Scott Przymus, who recorded this video at Stagecoach Reservoir, told Storyful he spotted the animals while driving home after working an overnight shift.

"I was looking at the lake when I saw something big in the distance," he said. "I drove up the road, got out, and filmed from up above. They had no idea I was there. It was very peaceful, and pleasing to watch."
