Well, that was fun... (Not the game, but the reason I haven't posted this quarter.)
You all know (or most of you know) that I live in the forest. The forest has creatures of all kinds. This time of year it is not unusual to see the occasional raccoon or possum, coyote or fox. In addition, there are usually deer in the area. There are also larger predators but they generally shy away from human contact. Well...not this time.
Hearing a noise in the garbage, I grabbed my spotlight flashlight and aimed it in the right direction. This, while not the one I actually saw, is about the right size... It actually turned and looked at me, almost posing in the light.
Ah the joys of living in the forest. I was transfixed watching until it lumbered off back into the woods, hopefully to go take a nice long winter's nap.
