I went walking in a nature preserve Saturday with Bri and saw geese, large alligator turtles,rd-winged blackbirds,and a wild fox who was so close at first I assumed he was a dog, then someone's pet. He was totally relaxed, with calm yellow eyes, and he was about 5 feet away, his red fur sparkling in the sun. He stayed for about 5 minutes,and when he got tired of people, (there were two other people there besides me) he walked away, no fear or caution. He was beautiful.
There was also a large alligator turtle by the same benches. Somehow I didn' t figure him for a pet:)

I love it when things like that happen....

Ms Eff, humbled by the bravery of nature...
