Whack-a-Mole

Image copyright Fred First

It's not just about distance. There is the spin, the acceleration, the release, the follow-through. The mole toss is not a sport of brute strength, oh no. It is a matter of finesse and style, of honor and great tradition. Not to deny that there is great beauty in a toss perfectly executed by an athlete in his prime. Still, it is the breed he represents, not himself in this action shot, a proud moment.

But lest you think this is just a sport for sissies, wait til tomorrow when you'll see how this insectivore fought back. Ladies, look away. You may swoon at the violence. You were warned.

Glad to see that Goose Creek is now a safer place.
