    Waymarking Wildlife

    I know your out there. Some of you have caught a pic of some critters that you weren't expecting to see where you were waymarking. This is the first time I've ever see these in a cemetery. Swizzle

    I saw one of those running out of an alley in Albany once. That one must be a baby. lol. Those things are cool looking. Aren't they more tropical? I thought they stomped around rice patties and such and do tons of damage. Where are you located anyways? Swizzle

    Re: Waymarking Wildlife

    Waymarking wildlife could be a photo goals waymark.

    The goal being that the animal photo be fairly good quality (perfection not required) and that it being taken while waymarking.

    Since I am always waymarking I could submit photos of any animal that I took a photo of. Smile

    Anyhow, Swizzle are you sure you didn't see a nutria or something? Those Capybara can get up to 4 feet and over 200 pounds.

    We have nutria everywhere near waterways here in Oregon and they sure are a bother.

    Yeah I know how big they get. I was joking about the size of albany's rat although I don't think I was off by very much. I would think the photo goal thing should be more like wild animals in strange places. A moose in town, fox in the city, turkey in a cemetery, deer in a parking lot. That sort of thing. What do you think, could it be a photo game? Swizzle

    Heck yeah that could be a photo goal! I'd definitely try it. There's gotta be wording that describes this exactly. I'd ask BQ for help.

    I think it should also be a critter that's native to your area, no escaped chimps and lions. The real challenge would be a critter pic where the critter is in the same frame as a waymark. No pigeons allowed. That'd be to easy for waymarked statues in public places. Maybe a gps in the photo, with the critter on the waymark.  LMAO Well maybe for bonus points. Speaking of bonus points I had an idea for the centenarians headstone category. You get one point for ever year a person is over 100 years old. I think it sounds like fun although I think the Japanese will win that one. I just read an article that said right now they have over 40,000 people alive today over the age of 100. Right now I'm trying to find a man that died at 115 years old and a woman that died at 119. Both are in my area. Swizzle
