This weeks Theme is Fake
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.

In the North Idaho city of Sandpoint the police are telling residents to stop chasing the moose. During the past few weeks, the Sandpoint Police Department has received dozens of phone calls each day reporting moose inside city limits. Area residents have taken to chasing the moose. Police Chief Mark Lockwood said.
The towns residents are sharing the city with about three to five moose. It’s not all that uncommon for moose to come into areas with a lower elevation in the winter months as the snow is usually not as deep.
“When these animals roam into the city, they can become frightened and disoriented, making them more dangerous than if they were encountered in the wild,” Lockwood said.
One woman pushing a jogging stroller recently chased after a moose in an attempt to photograph it, with a pack of people close behind. If things don’t change, Lockwood said police may have to cite residents for “molesting wildlife.”
“Do not approach any moose, even if it seems quiet and gentle,” Lockwood said. “If approached repeatedly, even by the best-intentioned onlookers, it may become aggressive. Sooner or later Bullwinkle is going to stomp somebody.”
