Jameo, the keyboard image is exceptional, nice work! Nickel...'tis true the Leap makes you laugh...good stuff! Cowgirl, nice images as well, I love the angle of the grocery image.
I trekked on the Kyak to the south Island and hiked for 6 or so miles hunting animuuules...cameback and shot a JV and then a Varsity Soccer game, finished at 11, got the girls to sleep and passed out. I wish I could say I shot one per hour but...I think I was trigger happy.
Today is Tennis, Soccer, Dance...a wedding and a reception..I'll post images when I can:)
I'm glad that those who had to work "got away" with having a bit of fun!
Thanks for playing!
2 for now...:coffee:

They were brought here to rid lakes and rivers of plant growth a long time ago...then spread like crazy...they are everywhere. Unfortunately they really hurt the muskrat population and some others. There is a pic of a pair under the turtle above. I think they still sell the pelts in europe?

Nice shots Twilight, If I am not mistaken they were also imported to supplement fur trade. They ended up taking out to much marsh land and now most states want them killed out as much as possible.

We DO have them around here by the way. There are some over at Flag Ponds in Calvert Co. and over on the Eastern Shore.

Wow, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I always thought they were only in the south but they're definitely up here but not in the same numbers as down there:

Nutria - Frequently Asked Questions - Invasive & Exotic Species of Maryland

In Louisiana, the population of nutria has risen from a few pairs of animals to an estimated 20 to 30 million animals. The population of nutria at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge was about 7,000 animals before. The Dorchester County population has been estimated to be as high as 75,000 animals. The larger the population of nutria, the greater their impact on marsh habitat.

...

Introduced at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in 1943, where they were farmed for fur. Nutria were introduced to the southern United States early in the 20th Century for this purpose and were subsequently introduced to 22 states by mid-20th Century.

Man has definitely unleashed Pandora's box with introducing this creature in the US. :ohwell:
