Wednesday Watering Hole: Check In & Hangout for the Herd

Good morning, Moosekind. Don’t forget to let your peeps know where to find you.

The common Moose, Alces alces, unlike other members of the deer family, is a solitary animal that doesn’t form herds. Not so its rarer but nearest relative, Alces purplius, the Motley Moose. Though sometimes solitary, the Motley Moose herds in ever shifting groups at the local watering hole to exchange news and just pass the time.

Motley Monday Check in and Mooselaneous Musings

Good morning Motley Meese! Hope your weekend was lovely. Remember to let your peeps know where you are!

Here’s today’s Motley Monday Shot of the Week. Right now I’ll be throwing in some favorites from my archives, but once the weather warms (which it is finally showing signs of doing) I’ll post my week’s best shot.

This photo was taken on a cold damp late Autumn day. The butterfly just crawled around on the bush and posed. It wasn’t until I looked at the shot that I realized what was going on. See the water droplets on the wings? The butterfly needed to dry out and the damp, overcast weather was keeping that from happening. It was gone in the afternoon when I came back by.

We break today from our normal Monday format to commiserate with those who had a truly wonderful St. Patrick’s Day yesterday and are regretting it today. Plus, it gives me an excuse to practice a new skill!

Today is day two of “so many meetings I can’t get any work done”. The hardest part about meetings for me is not letting the other participants see that I’d rather be in the dentist’s chair. Anyway, I’ll be around for a while this morning, then will check back between ordeals.
