This shot of a cow and calf moose was taken off the back deck of our cabin at Pines Ranch, UT.
On our fourth morning at the cabin, we woke up at sunrise to find a Mama Moose and this young calf in a clearing behind our cabin, a spot often visited by the animals that live on the mountain behind the cabin. Baby bedded down just off the path in some tall grass, and Mama laid down close by. After a short time, both got up, and we watched as the calf nursed before heading off into the aspens nearby. They returned later and stayed for quite awhile before disappearing into the trees.
From around 2 years of age, female moose mate between late September and early November. Gestation lasts for approximately eight months, with young born in May or June.
Cows commonly give birth to single calves or twins, and occasionally triplets. Moose weigh 25-35 pounds at birth. After the young are born, they drink the mother's milk, which is very high in fat and other nutrients. Because of the milk, the calf grows very fast, gaining about 2 pounds a day. Moose calves can browse and follow their mother at three weeks of age and are completely weaned at five months. They stay with their mother for at least a year after birth, until the next young are born.
For almost three hours, we watched the two of them interact. We were so thrilled to be able to witness this calf nursing. It was an unforgettable morning.

Every year I visit the same Texas nursing home during the Christmas season. This year I was there for Boxing Day.

This looks to be a picture of my Mother's nursing class at the Leeds General Infirmary. I'm guessing that it will be a photo from when they completed the course and became SRNs. Which will have been in 1942.
8th August 2007: Now here's the thing. This picture is the most popular photo I have on Flickr (alongside a picture of a ladybird on a leave). Since I uploaded it on 4th May (96 days ago) it has had 61 views. That's approximately 2 views every 3 days.
But it isn't in any groups and it only has 4 tags. Even if it comes up in a search you don't have to view it. So where's the interest? Is it the nurses' uniforms? The building? Or the rugs at the front? Or just that this is a picture of 19 lovely 1940s ladies?
I would be interested to know.
2nd September 2007: 100 views today! So that's 39 extra views in 26 days, 3 views every 2 days. Now we are really motoring. That's really left the ladybird far behind on 65 views.
One more thing I have noticed about these nurses. Some have dark coloured belts (they are elasticated black with a big buckle with a crest on it, I still have my Mother's belt), but most have light coloured belts. Or possibly no belt at all and we can just see the waistband of the apron. I notice my Mother wasn't wearing her black belt.
