The Moon, the Moose, and a Mug

Can you see the big circle around the moon?  I thought it looked pretty neat.  Almost like a wagon wheel.

 We've had several moose hanging around nearby.  These were taken within a mile of our house.  There have been as many as six spotted together, but only three the day I had my camera.

 These two are pretty decent bulls.

 We had our Christmas party for the library tonight.  It was a very nice party catered with all sorts of fancy foods.  We had a white elephant gift exchange, and I actually came home with the item I wanted most :)

Here's the other side.  I just love this mug.  :)
