Lancewen Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 MoontanmanVery nice pictures, I'm not sure I would brave the swamps to get them, but I'm glad you did. :thumbs_up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labelwench Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Very nice photographs, Moontanman. I'm always interested in images of things that don't grow here as I tend to stick close to home and may never view them in person. Double rainbows are rather rare in this semi-arid climate and I was fortunate to be in the yard with a camera in hand to get visual proof that I do indeed live under a double rainbow. :smilingsun: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I didn't get that photo from that web site. I download many thousands of photos and pictures from the news groups in bulk and most of them don't come with the name of the photographer. It is still my position that these pictures are considered public domain and I am still waiting on a ruling. However, per your request I will try to provide the ownership info whenever I can. But If I have an outstanding picture that I want to share and can't find any info, I still want to be able to share it. what you want is no protection from the law, let alone this site's liability for hosting your violations. THE SEVEN DEADLY MYTHS OF INTERNET COPYRIGHT AN EXCELLENT RULE OF THUMBIf you do not have specific permission (preferably written!) from the owner of a photo, you cannot legally display it on a website, post it to the Usenet, copy it, send it around by Email or other means, make photos derived from it, sell it, or otherwise exploit it.... [please] read the entire article at the link as i have quoted just a small portion. my habit of doing this is also a consequence of copyright law, which regardless of what i want to do, i make every effort to follow. if you doubt the veracity of my source, do your own search for copyright law regarding images on the internet. my bringing this to your attention is more than simply what i want to do; it is the law.

labelwench Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 We live in a rural subdivision 14 miles east of Whitehorse surrounded by some fairly decent hills and mixed forest. During the summer months, the moose and caribou stay to the high plateaus above treeline but in the winter the deep snows push them down to the river valley. When spring is late in coming, forage is scarce and the moose will come right into the yard and poke through the compost pile and the hay shed. Moose are browsers, not grazers, and the timothy/brome hay that I feed the horses is not their first choice but it keeps their belly from touching their backbone and I do not mind that they take a portion. After all, it is I who have moved into their habitat in all fair consideration. When I feed in the dark, I wear a headlamp and carry the hay fork with me between hay-sheds. The horses usually snort to alert me if the moose are nearby, yet they became quite habituated to their presence and the cow and her two calves would just amble from one shed to the other to afford me passage to feed the horses. My hubby took this photo one morning, capturing all three of the moose in one of the hay sheds having their breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like easy meat on the hoof (Just kidding). Give your husband a kudo for the great picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the kids say, "Like.....yeah....", lol.... Living in a remote northern town when I was growing up, we were pretty much raised on moose and caribou. Only male moose are harvested in the Yukon with the season being August 1st to October 31st within specified hunting zones. http://www.env.gov.y...regs2011_en.pdf Hubby was raised in the city and does not care for wild meat so the population has been safe from predation by me for many years now. It is a very good meat, prepared in pretty much the same way as beef but being much leaner it is often cooked with a slower, moist heat. Moose stew and bannock is a traditional dish in these parts and pictured here is a dish similar to Shepherd's Pie.

labelwench Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I'm still waiting for the first crocus to appear in my yard. It has not been warm enough yet this year but I expect that I shall encounter one soon enough. Once they come along, they put on quite a show and pop up along the fence lines in profusion. Horses do not eat them or Jacob's ladder I have observed. This photo was taken in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMJones0424 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Picture made by ESA astronaut André Kuipers on the ISS. The double lensing is caused by an air bubble trapped in the water bubble. Check out the Bad Astronomy blog for a more thorough explanation of the photo and the physics behind it. Turtle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
