Mooses? I don’t think that there’s a plural for moose …

We took this photo of a metal moose while attending an Art fair here in Toronto. This moose is made out of a recycled oil tank!

This second moose was found in front of a Chicago building.

Do you have interesting animal artwork or statues in your city?

Moose thinks he’s part of the herd

Beverly and Ernie Fischer of Morton County gathered up a little more than their cattle when they did their round up this fall. They got a moose! Beverly says “He thinks he is a cow,” said his wife.

Ernie Fischer said it was difficult to get the young bull moose away from the cattle, and workers put it in a separate corral until it could be released.

The moose also broke fences on the ranch 20 miles south of Mandan.

It’s not the only such incident in south central North Dakota this year. Emmons County rancher Sam Gross recently reported a lone bull moose in his cattle herd, and a moose also was spotted in a cattle herd in McIntosh County.

Metallic Beaver - just a little one.

I’m Canadian, eh. When we see a beaver we have to take a photo of it. Even if it’s fake.

We were at an outdoor art exhibition on Saturday when we came across an artist that had created metal sculptures of all kinds of animals. Moose, pigs, frogs, fish, birds and many others.

The sculptures were fantastic. I’m sure I’ll be posting more of them here.

One of the things that I really liked about the sculptures is the fact that they are made out of old metal items like the moose that’s made out of an old oil tank, or the pig that’s made out of an old propane tank. What better way to recycle?

This weeks Theme is Shiny

Last summer we went to Chicago to visit my brother and his family. It was a long drive back and forth and a very short visit. We were there to go to a concert and well visit with family.

During one of the days we were there we drove into downtown Chicago and proceeded to take our own walking tour of the city. This shiny moose was one of the great sculptures that we saw and photographed.

We loved Chicago BTW. It’s very much like Toronto. If you ever get to go to either city you’ll now have an idea of what the other one is like.
