I've goofed around a bit with Flickr and have uploaded a bunch of shots and created "sets".

Click here for my Flickr page. There are sets for Tyge, Clem, Moose, and Nature pictures. Because Radio is client based as opposed to server based, there's no easy way to post directly from Flickr to Radio. I'd have to leave my computer up and running all the time and use the BloggerAPI to perform the updates. Oh well...

Flickr is a pretty darn spiffy way to display and organize pictures. Now, if they'd let me off probation so my tags would start working...

This morning, as I was getting dressed and very late for work (8:45 AM), the phone rang. It was Alix - she was calling from her cell phone and was outside in the cul de sac taking Gunner for his morning constitutional. They'd made it halfway down the driveway when Gunner started following his nose up the steps into the front yard - right into a Mama Moose and her calf. Fortunately, the moose were quite calm and Alix and Gunner were able to retreat to the cul de sac from where they phoned home.

I went zooming downstairs to the living room to take a batch of pictures. The problem is that at 8:45 AM in Alaska in late December, it is still very dark. So, I wasn't able to do much on the photo front - other than end up with some interesting "red moose" pictures. I have to say that I have never been so close to a moose in my life. There was only a pane of glass separating me from the Mom who was munching on the hedges right at the window. I have to say, you absolutely cannot underestimate the size of a moose schnoz.

The Calf.




The Mom and Calf.
