It's a Wednesday?

Bwuahahaha! Return of the moose statue!!

ummmm

I'm sorry I had to. It seems I have at last embraced the town spirit of obsessing over moose. So anyways, on to other subjects before this turns into a blog about moose...........

Well now I'm at a total loss as to what to write! I can't blog about the weather, did that last time. And I can't blog about moose AGAIN (not yet anyway). So, oh I know! One time, two blog posts ago, the What to Say post, I mentioned I had an idea as to what I should blog about!!

Well, that would have had to have been (wow mouthful) SHERLOCK!!! Aka, BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH!! Yes I'm sorry, I had to do at least one post about one of my favorite shows, albeit I don't watch many. On a side note, isn't the word albeit wonderful? Sorry word nerd over here. Anyhow, I have only one thing to say about this show, well one that I can display via picture.

And yes, I do adore this show. I also have read just about every sherlock story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Each story is an enticing mystery that I can't help but read. Granted, there are a few that aren't as good as the others, but they are fabulous all the same.

Some fun facts of the day: The methods Sherlock uses to solve crimes were actually used in England for a time by medical practitioners and others. Also, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did not like the character Sherlock, but was pressured into writing the stories. Spoiler Alert - that is the reason as to why Sherlock "died" at the end of the first volume. However, so many fans were outraged that he had to continue the series. He also published the books at around the time of Jack the Ripper, the reason as to why he created a crime solving hero.

Wow, I apologize. I tend to stray from topics quite quickly. It's a problem, I know and I'm sorry. I have a very short attention span, which teachers don't seem to understand, so anyway back to Sherlock before I go off on a rant!

So if you haven't already recognized the actors, you should have. On the left we have Benedict Cumberbatch who acts in Star Trek Into Darkness, The Hobbit as the voice of Smaug, August: Osage County, and many don't know this...but in War Horse.

Now, on the right we have Martin Freeman. Acclaimed for acting as Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. Also acts in The Office apparently, The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and others.

Anyhow, this TV Show is a must see!! I won't go into details, because I don't want to give anything away, which tends to happen on occasions.....

For more information on actors, I recommend this cool  blog by a friend of mine!

Anyhow, who else likes these wind instruments/mechanisms (for lack of a better word)

These metal contraptions bend to the winds demands, swirling and twirling on a good day. Can be quite mesmerizing at times. Just like those spin-fan thing-a-ma-bobbers we always played with as children. Yeah, you know, the rainbow colored ones. The toys that made kids puff up their cheeks like a puffer fish and blow with all their might until they got the wheel to spin. Remember those things? Well here's a friendly reminder.

Starting to ring a bell? Well it should.

Good gracious, I actually wrote real words and posted on a day other than Friday! I must be feeling quite gracious! 

P.S

Don't get used to it. This is probably a first and a last time I will actually post this early. We shall see though

From Spring to Winter to Moose and Back to Spring

Ok, ok i'm sorry i'm doing another post about moose. Haha, yep, no i'm not. So I finally decided to get out and about and walk the town, see the world. And upon this venture, I discovered that even when it comes to construction, there are still moose! Left and right, right and left. Up, down, diagonal to diagonal. Even from Yes, to No.

Fabulous Shadow of Me Taking Pic

So, moose on construction fence. As well as a biker, and your typical PC Miner picks. You know, way back when mining was a thing. Yeah, that got way too mainstream for us. So we turned into a ski town.

Oh Look! Another One!

And here is another part of the fence that is located a bit farther down. As you can see, once again a moose and biker. As well as what I believe to be a skier.

Ok, so based on my blog title, you must assume that I am going to blog about the ridiculousness about the weather here. Well you know what, I am. I don't care if you don't like it, but I am.

So one minute the weather is all like "Yeah I give up with snow. I will give you an early spring."

Fabulous Snapchat Picture

Then my reaction, as well as my family's, is "YES! Finally! Time to try out new soccer ball." Don't know if you can tell, but this is the design for the Brazuca ball. Albeit it is in different colors. Well, that day would've been an amazing practice day for me and my brother, had the rugby team not taken the good field. However, that is a pretty cool sport, just not when it intervenes with mine. So then, about four days later, Jack Frost decides to come to town.

And yes, I did just post a picture of Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians. Then it snows again! Three days in a row! Including this morning! Now I'm happy that it snowed, hopefully it will prevent a drought since Colorado and the East Coast seem to have stolen our snow. But then, it warms up to about 50º some degrees in the afternoon. With this dramatic change in the weather, I discovered this in my back yard.

Yellow Crocus

Normally these flowers are a sign of spring right? And yet, my mom is still going to make me go skiing tomorrow on nec bene nec male/comme ci comme ca/so-so snow. Grrrrr......

Wow, did I go overboard on the pictures? eh, nah. I would post more, but then I take it people would get fed up with all of the meese/moosen/moose. Oh wait!!! I have to post this one last one! Because instead of my town being obsessed with moose, the moose seem to be obsessed with my town/neighborhood.

Moose in Yard!!!

Yep, today two moose decided to invade a yard, the one that borders mine. In fact, as I look out my window, I can still see them camped out. Well, looks like they made themselves comfortable. So they have been out there since around 4:00 PM I want to say. Wich is awesome, yet at the same time a bummer. So of course that meant my little brother and I couldn't shoot hoops, nor could we let the dog out for fear of the moose charging us. That may not seem like a big deal to any of those who have never seen or grown up with moose, but trust me, it is terrifying!!!

All of the Moosen

Yes I did just say Moosen, as in Moose plural. But for any of you out there who totally disagree with that, fine. It's Meese. Why am I talking about the different forms of Moose? Well like I said in an earlier blog post ––– my town is obsessed with moose. And like I also said in a previous post, "I will try and get more pictures" well.... here's one!

Metal Moose

So above we have the almighty moose, located near my school. I frequently walk by it when going to one of my classes located in a different building.

I can't think of anything to write. I can't think of anything to write. I can't think...IDEA! Well based off of that I would just like to thank a fifth grade teacher of mine who taught me how to write that. She would say, and I quote, "If you can't think of anything to write, write I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING TO WRITE until you have an idea." So whenever we were required to do a timed writing, which was practically everyday, that was what you wrote if you had no idea. She gave you the points for it if you did too. 

Well blast from the past right there.

On a different note, well actually I'm referring back to my original subject, this is a metal moose. Yes, I know that may seem obvious, but maybe some of you didn't realize. And fun fact of the day, I actually have a friend whose dad used to make objects like this. He is a "blacksmith", forgive the archaic word, and worked with all types of metal. My friend even picked up a thing or two and she can make a few metallic structures herself. Fascinating really. Here is a picture of one of the articles she made, which she gave to me as a birthday present.

Soccer Moose

Oh and one last thing, please check out this amazing blog by a friend of mine!

So Bored!!!

Hey people! Not like I have any readers, eh whatever! It's a requirement, and I feel bad for all those people who actually spend the time to read this. Haha, not!
Hmm, so I'm in my computer technology class and I'm excruciatingly bored! I already finished the assignments, cause their easy. Any who, what am I supposed to do? Tehe I rhymed. Sorry sorry! Like I said, I'm booorrrrrrrreeeeeddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my blog has been going a bit off topic from what I originally said it would be like, I apologize. I was kinda thinking, "This is the same as every other photography blog." I'm sorry!!! I can't do all the fun art stuff I had originally planned on doing! It got too cold! You guys saw one of my previous posts, the one where I tried to create amazing ice globes? Well yeah, of course that didn't work out for me!! So here I am, bored with no fun art. Meaning you guys must be ten trillion times more bored.

Well it snowed over the weekend, only a tad bit unfortunately. Here are some attributes to my home town!

Moose!

Just as a little side note, my town is OBSESSED with moose. We have statues adorning the entire town! All up and down Main Street, near car washes, in peoples yards, outside of stores, all are statues of moose. Each has its own aspect making it unique: one painted with scenery; another bedecked with scarf, hat, and boots; and yet a third painted with dogs! It's quite strange, but gives our town a sort of charm.

So as I was strolling along Mainstreet today, I came across this new moose. This one is a gate going to an alley between two restaurants. Now I know what you're thinking-"Alley! Danger! Let's be rebels and adventure down it!" Well, maybe you weren't thinking exactly along those lines, but it matters not. It's basically a space between two shops where someone decided to put up an awesome moose gate!

And this is art, is it not? If I have time I will try to collect pictures of all the moose, meese, and flocks of meesen statues that plague my town.

Ohh, I another thing I finally remembered. Like three-four posts ago I said I would start doing shout outs to some other blogs, I'm sorry I haven't been doing that! So here are two for today, or night, whatever time it is. So first to this crazy guy, for inspiring and funny posts! And to this amazing girl! All of her posts are clarifying and funny! Thank you guys!
