I am using one of those pictures from Yellowstone that I
posted here a few weeks ago as my PC wallpaper. It the
one that had two moose drinking from a pristine pond with
colorful mountains in the background.

I like it so much I decided to wallpaper the outside of my
house with it. I did it while wifey was out. It's a huge
mural like polvie's but covers the entire house.

The first day she drove right by the house as if it was
camoflaged. But then she caught sight of the mailbox
sticking out from the moose's rear and realized it must be
our house.

We've noticed a lot of neighbors driving by slowly waiting
for the moose to move or perhaps see a fish jump.
I think it's enhanced the neighborhood tremendously.

However there have been a few drawbacks. There have been
three RV's camped out front. I've also seen signs of
bison trampling through my flower garden.

The other day I had my lawn sprinkler on and the neighborhood
kids thought it was Old Faithful spouting off. They took
lots of pictures.

Some of Shrub's aids have been by. They think it would be
a lovely spot to put an oil well or to drill for natural
gas. I was against it at first until they told me how
much they were willing to pay me for the energy drilling
rights.

Wallpapering the outside of my house turned out to be the
best investment idea I ever had. We went through gallons of
printer ink and it wasn't always easy to get the vinyl
siding to load into my HP Colr DeskJet, but was well worth the
effort.

P.S. Can't seem to find the link to the wallpaper but
instead I have here a photo of my tool shed.

Looks real doesn't it. Blends in nicely with the rest of
the yard...
