That’s such a strange shot. It really does look like he’s wishing he were outside. haha! I’m not a fan of antlers and that sort of trophy – sometimes it can be disturbing.
Dearest V
It feels like an age since The Dandy was last beguiled.
The dreariness of of that old toad work has kept him away from the web for a few days, but now I return to find this treasure trove.
Surely the answer here if simple: he’s a ‘guard moose’!
Yours ever

While I wouldn’t go out in the woods and shoot something to hang on my wall, I don’t feel bad about antique mounted specimens like this one, which would have been dead long ago in any case. I think he looks rather marvelous in his present location. If I lived there, I’d name him and talk to him every time I went up or down the stairs.
Ho, boy! I like the streaming light but that poor guy looks like he’s wondering where the rest of him is… Like Reagan in King’s Row (I think) 😉
Nailed it!
If I try really hard could I squeeze through that window?
…and leap to safety — or the swimming pool 😉
You might require some help 🙂
and maybe a slide…
Squish! Weee!
V, received yr missive by gmail and responded in turn, G. Take that, Iceland!

It’s freakish! I don’t think I’d ever want to go up to bed at night with that poor (partial) creature suspended there.
lol! Nor, would I! He is partial, isn’t he? There’s a little too much of him suspended on the wall.
My father was a big game hunter and he would certainly approve of this seven-pointer.
Is it an elk? A reindeer? I meant to ask of friend of mine at dinner last night, whose father also hunted big game, and I forgot!
It looks like an elk to me. I believe Reindeer have thicker antlers.
Thank you!
Wow if Gripping Life is not a fan of antlers{like me} has she seen chairs constructed from sets of the same.Grimly surreal.
I have! At a hunting lodge in the Adirondacks – they are weird!

Or a spirit animal? 😉
