Yes, I know THAT happened . . . we watched it on tv. And, I’m not even going to discuss the conspiracy theories around all that.
😉
However, YOU may certainly all discuss that if you so choose.
Nope – what happened 39 years ago today . . . is that my nephew was born! Happy Birthday, Gary!
In other news, I talked last time about getting stuck in my car between a mama moose and her twins. When the one to my left went back towards mama I was able to go into the building and grab my camera for some across the lot shots. Thought you might enjoy seeing some of them.
This is the little guy who kept coming back to my car and resting his/her head on the hood. Sorry about the quality – I was taking the shot through my office window and didn’t get the flash turned off in time. We think maybe the hood was warm, baby was cold (it was drippy, rainy) and it just felt good. Who knows?

Here are a couple of shots of the mama with her twins together. Moose will often drop twins, some of them do it every year. Sometimes, but rarely, a moose will drop triplets. Sadly, they don’t all make it through the first weeks – and often don’t make it through the first winter. Predators, cars, etc.

And, finally, here’s a picture of a gorgeous flower – unfortunately, this flower is the cause of a LOT of depression in Kenai . . . it’s the first harbinger of the winter to come. Nevertheless it is pretty – that fuschia color!!!
