Helpful Posts: Okay, good people, most of us know that Texans given half a chance will politely tell you that in the Lone Star State everything is bigger and better than anywhere else in the world!
This approach reminds me of the old story. A Texan was in an Australian pub in the outback, way out beyond the black stump, so to speak. And he was boasting that in his car it took him at least three days to drive around his holdings back in Texas. And a little ozzie local standing next to him shook his head in sympathy and said, " Yeah. Know what yer mean. I had a car like that once."
Anyway, getting back to the original theme. How do Texan mice stack up against ours, here at One Tree hill in little, old, insignificant Seymour? Look below and decide for yourself.
Please note. No steroids were involved in the setting up these shots! But our bill for ratsak can be quite significant. And our mouse traps could snare an elephant. Hey, I'm an ozzie! Would I tell you fibs?
Thanks for viewing and for any comments posted. In this lot I have tried to keep the cropping to the regular sizes of 5:4 or 6:4 framing, rather than for an odd size with best effect.

Re: Seymour's Mus domesticus
Ken and Mrs. Ucci live in a beautiful place...but I wonder how it feels being taken over by these roos? Do they sound like they have horses passing by each time they decided to pass by and jump around? Do they eat grass? If they do, you won't need a lawnmower, Ken. I like the pose of #1 here in this lot and you did caught the jumper at the last pix. Very nice...must be fun.

Re: Seymour's Mus domesticus
A thousand and one apologies people. I stuffed up! When I was adjusting the file size to upload to CIC I messed up the setting on my resize programme. Consequently the proportions on the roos are distorted the ratio of height to width not being 1:1. Sorry about that!
This is what they should have looked like had I not messed up.

What is that green stuff in the background, I thought that was meant to be Aussie.
