Olga, your mooses and mouses are very handsome!!  ;D ;)

Robin, fox could be investigating disturbed areas of ground to see if anything tasty is buried, or on the trail of mice. Mind you, given the foxy smell of Fritillaria imperialis bulbs, if any of those  wereplanted, he could have been looking for a fight !  :P ::)
Our visiting fox finds these interesting... as he does the Codonopsis..... :-X


I think your beautiful mushrooms must be wildlife,
Olga, they are wearing fur coats!  :D ;) ;D .............I have moved Olga's fungi pix to this thread: http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=4313.0

Olga your photos are very clear and sharp focus.

There is a pub/night club near me called The Elk. They have a huge statue one their gates of what they thought was an Elk. It's a moose :o

Mark, Maggi,
I feel a confusion with the words elk and moose but I do not know the difference. My dictionary says it is the same...  ???

Olga, your Elk is a Moose but in North America they have also an Elk which is not a Moose ! Believe me , it is very confusing!  Some Elk are big deer, with faces more like red deer, for instance, not with the huge nose and large faces of your Elk/Moose !  Don't worry, someone who can explain this better than I will surely come to help us!  ::) 8)

Thank you Maggi! I also googled elk and moose and now I understand the difference. Moose is an american animal. Our russian moose horns are as elk's. But it's moose.  :D

Olga, your fungi and lichen photos are absolutely stunning!

Your moose is indeed a moose... it's thin antlers in the photo are only because it is a young male.  With more maturity, its antlers will be broad and shovel-like -  in other words, moose-like, rather than elk-like.

Olga,

Fantastic photos.  Is that what your local mice look like?  They're rather cute with that dark racing stripe down the middle.  Cool. 8)
