You're such a sweetheart, Randy! I truly am honored with the feature in Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery, but your comment added a nice, thick layer of frosting to the whole having my cake and eating it, too, experience:>). Have a great weekend!

Very creative and wonderful capture, Carol! Tell your husband that I may try his idea of the hat next time, as they surely can be stubborn, when you are trying to save them. I love your wording that goes with the photo, as it is just too awesome for words! Thanks for sharing your great creativity and wonderful artwork and superb sense of humor with us all, as we all need to be heightened in humor!

Fun Carol! Love it!!
Carol Senske replied:
We did manage to coax him off the road where people drive like maniacs and don't seem to care much what they hit. This one was large enough that they might have tried to avoid it and have an accident, too. Husband used his hat to make the old grump chase it until he was on the other side and into the wetlands. I may get this wrinkled, but I hope I'm never that cranky! Thanks, Joy:>)
