A scrape is a type of marker created when a deer, typically a buck, removes ground material with its fore-hooves and exposes a patch of soil. Scrapes serve as a form of communication between deer, leaving their scent in the area (through glands on their face and urinating on the ground), and letting them know who's area it is !
The swollen neck and panting are all signs of pending rut......
What a way to open the scrape at SBBOT this morning.. A pair of Blue-headed / Iberian Yellow Wagtails..
Collecting scrap can be very dangerous... Especially if you want to take it from a scorpion...

View from top of Tantallon Castle with its 17th century doocot in foreground: oblong on plan, containing two chambers. Geologically, the law is a volcanic plug and has survived the scraping glaciers of the ice age.
I've been on the road trying to wrap up my late Father's estate. This was my first up close look at the new Trump Tower in Chicago. Taken from across the Chicago River at State and Wacker in the North Loop. I can see my old office
Thanks for your awesome comments :-))
Recipe to follow:
Raw Blueberry Cream Tart
Crust
1 1/4 cup salted pistachios
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup dates
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Filling
1/2 cups cashews, soaked two hours and drained
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup agave syrup
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 vanilla bean, scraped
1 tbsp dried lavender flowers
2 pinch of sea salt
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 cup frozen blueberries
In a food processor, pulse the nuts into a semi- fine meal. Pour the nuts into a bowl and set aside. Pulse the dates, vanilla extract until you have a paste. Add the nuts back into the food processor and pulse to combine. Press the crust evenly into a tart pan. Put the tart pan in the fridge or freezer to set while you make the filling.
For the filling, pulse the cashews into a fine meal. Add coconut oil and blend until just combined. Reserve 1 cup of the filling mixture. Pour the rest into a bowl and set aside. Return the reserved cup of filing to the blender and add the blueberries. Blend until smooth.
Pour the blueberry filling into the tart crust and smooth. Tap the tart pan against the counter a few times to ensure there are no air bubbles in the filling. Return the tart pan to the freezer for 30 minutes or until firm. Pour the reserved filling into the tart pan over the blueberries. Once again tap on the counter to remove air bubbles. Using a knife, cut through the batter to create a marbled effect. Return the tart to the freezer to set until serving. Serves 16, scored.
Note: You can do this this almost any fruit! Enjoy!
With a kinky mirror too....
At TED 2005, Dr. Tatiana taught me what I needed to know about insect sex, penis morphology, and the evolution of sexual deviance. From her Amazon book review:
"You'll learn why one stick-insect copulation lasts for 10 weeks (to prevent other males from gaining access to the fertile female) and why the black-winged damselfly's penis has bristles (to scrape out his rival's sperm). You'll learn that male and female orangutans masturbate with sex toys fashioned from leaves and twigs, that slugs are hermaphrodites with penises on their heads, and that females in more than 80 species eat their lovers before, during, or after sex. You'll also ponder human sexuality when you learn that "monogamy is one of the most deviant behaviors in biology" (although jackdaws, chinstrap penguins, California mice, and some termites swear by it) and "natural selection, it seems, often smiles on strumpets."

We’re easily sidetracked, it appears. One half of id-iom had ventured out into the cold to scrape and blank out our previous wall as the weather was just about sunny enough. After an hour or so out there I head out to see how he’s getting on and rather than paint over the previous wall he’d decided to adapt it into something else entirely. Then I got involved. Then it got dark and we had to come back the next day to finish what we were doing. And it’s still not ready to be painted on again. Like I said, easily sidetracked.
Anyway, if at first glance you thought this was 90’s cartoon legend Johnny Bravo then you’d be very much mistaken. For this is his second cousin twice removed Johnny Omicron. He’s twice as chatty but half as much fun. Now he’s got to go. The wall will be blanked out…
Cheers

Reflections were incredible today. So much so, that I had to tone it down a bit as it looked really fake when taken straight from my phone.
Description: I think that we can settle the purpose of the original Ramey farm. This rake is a clue that they harvested hay and probably fed cattle in the 1800s. I expect the finished cattle were herded up to the mining camps in the foothills to feed mine labor. It is interesting that the term "Foothills" is specific to this area as are Eastern and Western Slopes. This must have been the fancier selection of rake judging from iron tips on a couple of the teeth or tines. That begs the question as to whether there was a Beaver slide around the place. Not many are left in the West. This was the style of rake used to collect the hay for a Beaver slide.
I mentioned that I thought the Ramey spread was a dirt-poor farm and a lot of work was needed to stay above water, so to speak. Heck, he even labored so hard, he worked the handles off that wheelbarrow. I had headed out to the Ramey farm once again to inspect the farm for details and came away with some more. The remains of the rake won't last too very long in the weather and floods. I moved around the house and looked for shots untaken. I don't want to leave anything unshot. The sheds were already rebuilt and the house reroofed before the floods and now they are on their last legs. BoCo rescued the sheds but I guess the floods have tipped them over the brink. I have no idea why the county decided to prop the old buildings, behind me, by throwing in even more lumber but they claim the Ramey place is old, and it must be. The out buildings are not so good after the river undercut them. The textures and details caught my eye. I think back to the working days of the farm and wonder how busy and productive the Ramey place might have been? The hay days mostly meant a lot of haying to lay in cattle feed for the winter. I bet he never laid up any of thse round bales.
I have a Ramey PhotoSet filled with before flood shots and some that show the damage to the pasture on the north side and structures. One fissure shows in the bottom of this image. In fact walking across the pasture and through the structures involves tracking around all the fissures all over the place, or travel with a ladder. The Ramey photoset is under farms. A lot of the shots are at better times. I guess this is another loss to water diversions and gravel mining. The 61st street road has been rebuilt down to the 63rd Street bridge past the gate at Broley and I can now drive in. Apparently, the water streamed up to 4 feet high over Ramey. The pond south of Broley overflowed everywhere including Ramey after the floods cut through the gravel pits around Broley and sliced through 61st Street and rejoined the original St.Vrain. California can't seem to get a drop an the northeastern tier can't buy a degree. What Climate Change? I guess America's biggest enemy will be the upcoming petroleum wars.
