Awww...what a little sugar! When I was little there was a mole under our kitchen sink. I would feed it cheese. Love those little guys!

Cheese? Moles are vermivores.

There isn't a dang thing cute or likeable about a mole. What is it with you guys?

Makes you want to beat it to death, doesn't it?

Not exactly. But I could do without the mole that's been tearing my yard up for the last few months. I guess I just don't understand the "awww" reaction. I mean, it's not exactly a floppy eared bunny.

Are you sure it was not a Vole?

I had some cute floppy-eared bunny-babies in my backyard a while ago. I'll post pictures when I get the chance.
(Although cute, rabbits are just as much a pest as moles - large portions of the garden have been destroyed )

That vole is adorable by the way!

Hand to god! I know what their diet is but literally anything is opportunistic given the...opportunity. It wasn't even real cheese, it was yellow cheese slices. Up close there is no mistaking a mole for anything else.

Voles on the other hand, boy I'd like to give them a piece of my mind. My whole yard is spongy, swiss-cheesy with vole holes.

And voles are insectivores

Oh, my new camera finally arrived. It's going to take years to figure out all the settings, if I ever do. Anyway, after figuring out a few very basic settings, I took some pics and they are very impressive. Great true-to-life color, and clear, crisp images, like Shannon's!



Finally, I can look at a pic I took, then look over at the real thing and the color is accurate.

Guess again.
