Nature on the Edge
The photo prompt this week is edge. There aren’t a lot of edges around here, everything is all trees, and plants. So I went with a different interpretation.
Nature on the Edge.
The winters here are harsh, and long. The animals must be ready for these conditions by getting fat now, or storing food for the winter. The moose are also getting ready for the rut. Of all the 4 legged mammals around here, they are the last to mate in the fall. I watched this bull the other night as he pawed the ground, making an indentation.
He then pee’d in the spot he had made and laid down in it for a while. That gives him that special, manly scent all the girl moose love.
