I often find myself at odds with nature... but... usually in the form of insects.. Just recently a fly flew into me, stunned itself and fell into my shirt. The fall must have woken him up, because what ensued can't be adequately described... I'm just glad I was alone in the shop when it happened. The fly met his demise, and I ended up topless. Needless to say, no photos exist of the event. Lucretria, after reading this post of yours, My central antennae became rigid... I guess it works on homo sapiens as well... Central antennae? Feathery or serrated? o.o ;D

The moose jumping is incredible!... amazing pict. But there, at the right, between the skinny trees and the little water hole... is that a moose too? or just a shadow? Jeff: About your trip... I could tell you love to fish (LOL)... and eat... what else did you do for fun? Val, I love eating and fishing for sure...and I always eat what I catch, or release it. Traveling, and experiencing other cultures tops my list, I'm a history buff, so I love museums...art, and music. I enjoy reading. I love nature...so being at the beach, in the water snorkeling, in the mountains, or at a lake is where I'd rather be. I enjoy the night life of the big city every once in awhile, but don't think I'd want to live there fulltime. I love horseback riding, 4x4'ing, I'm a automobile addict, and I also love doing things with my family(hopefully coaxing them into some of the above activities!) I never noticed that until now. It was a long time ago though, I don't remember. Sorry. It wasn't running though... Chupacabra?

On behalf of that moose I am not too happy . Next, an aircraft/helicopter with moose officers chase down a horde of helpless Marines ... Couldn´t you just have taken the photo instead of scaring it? I KNEW you were going to call me a bad person about that. The moose was pretty small in the picture and would have been even smaller if we were further away. We could have gotten even lower which would have scared it worse, but didn't. Anyways, it's good cardiovascular exercise and the fear makes the heart rate even faster. I think we helped that moose live a longer life.

That's the price any animal pays to live out in the wild. Ya the helicopter startled the creature and got him/her running. However I bet the moose would take a helicopter flying over head getting it's picture taken versus having a grizzly trying to make lunch of it.
Humans can be cruel, but I think nature is constantly cruel. Our cats that we have are constantly bringing animals to our doorstep. I feel bad for all the mice/moles and whatever other small rodents keep showing up. Not so much that they are killing all these rodents, but they wound them, and then start playing with them in our courtyard. Once I feel bad enough I have to take my pellet gun and finish the job the cats were too lazy to do.
I bet that moose is happy he's a moose in the wild versus a cow being raised to end up on my plate.

But... have you ever eaten moose?? Yum, yum, yum.... ;D ETA: Central antennae... LOL Nope and I've never drank home made brew directly from a tanned skunk's ass either... Obviously, I'm lacking life experiences.

I could even teach you to bake a pie over an open fire... I'll forgo the sunk-ass... no one wants that hangover twice... (...but seriously, who could resist a drink that came out of a dead skunk's ass AND glowed in the dark???) You'll be doing good to teach me to bake a pie in an oven without setting off any alarms. lol 0o0o0 I bought an apron! (Baby steps toward domesticity...)

That thing that my granma used to use over her dresses so she didn´t get dirty when she cooked. But I think that´s more an urban legend

LOL The best part of the article:
"Once free, the moose collapsed on the ground and fell asleep. So we let him sleep it off and went back home"
