@Kayless: That's pretty damn cool. Actually, Lobo does indeed seem to be a good name for a moose.
I've never seen a moose up close and personal, though I have seen a rack of antlers taken from a sizable bull. Jumping Jehosaphat, those antlers were over 12 feet across.
What the hell do you do when it's rutting season? Call the National Guard to your backyard?

Two quid (£) is about $3.20...not a lot, in other words.
Or fatter...at the right places
When I was younger, I often bought second hand and like Frogus, water damaged or even fire damaged clothes (they might smell a little of smoke, but it disappears as soon as you wash it)...nowadays I seldom have time to buy any clothes at all, but fortunately Silur likes do buy clothes for me (for some strange reason, I'm not sure why - but I hate shopping, so it's great that he likes it ).

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. My family thinks I'm a nut for naming him that.

There's a moose skull and rack on the outside of my house. Most folks up here have some sort of decoration like that (be it a bear skin rug, wolf pelt, moose antler etc.).

If everyone in Alaska did that the National Guard would be busy 24/7. Just give the moose some space and they tend to do the same. It's the bears that get into trouble (once I get the photos developed I'll post a pic of Mort and Goober, the adolescent black bears who like to steal my trash).
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Originally posted by Scayde Great Pics Kay !!! Were you around when Momma delivered? That would have been something quite special
I didn't actually see the event, but the baby was very wobbly when I first saw him. If you look closely you can see some of the afterbirth still stuck to the mother's rear. I'd say she'd given birth within a hour or so of the pics.

If you post the bear pics, I'll try and find some kangaroo ones. They think they own the golf courses around here

LOL I don't think I've ever encountered a moose or bear on the golf course (though there are some coyotes that wander around the area).

@Scayde, yes, they are all my sisters There is also another sister (the youngest) and three brothers who weren't there. Luckily for my dad, there was quite an age gap between two sittings so he had time to recover from one lot first
