Yesterday while reading in my bedroom I noticed some dark shapes moving across the yard. Very disturbing until I realised it was a family of Moose out for a walk, their daily constitutional perhaps? :)
There is a big cow, sorry for the name calling, who lives around us. We often see her and she has run across the road in front of our car a few times, naughty. We call her Dame Nellie Melba after the famous Australian Diva of course.

The regal Dame Nellie Melba.
She walked up our road with her two calves in tow and continued right through our property. I went out onto the deck from my bedroom and took some snaps. The thought to move in closer for a better picture did cross my mind, but only briefly until I remembered this isn't Hanna Barbera and a mother protecting her calves is deadly.
It was a spectacular sight to see these magnificent beasts roaming about in my garden.

We have animals roaming everywhere in Melbourne. Sure they may be armed with knives but they are still animals.
ReplyDeleteYour place looks like a lovely retreat!
Oh Miss P you do my lovely beasties a diservice by comparing them to the malodorous thugs that roam over there. These animals are much more civilised, less vicious and probably much better smelling.
ReplyDeleteTrue, very true.
ReplyDeleteWent for a walk through my property today. I can't believe my backyard is a forest. Found some mounds of Moose poop. Looks like Maltesers.
