In the previous week I have noticed that there are a lot of animals that have been coming up to our back porch and windows (our apartment is partially underground). Aside from the multiple Canadian Geese and their gosling, there have been many squirrels and birds and the occasional snake that I have noticed in the 7 ½ months we’ve lived here.
Today was especially interesting, I have been trying to do more sit-spots since the weather has gotten warmer and today while in the woodlands behind our apartment I noticed a Red Fox quickly move through the woods. I almost didn’t get a good look at him since it moved so fast. Once I was done with my sit-spot I walked over to where I saw the fox and looked around for some tracks and after about 10 minutes of looking I found a pair. Exciting!
Then on my way back to our apartment, I spotted a Groundhog and it didn’t notice me since I was fox walking. It was really great to be able to witness creation in such a neat way. I don’t know if it was the same Groundhog or not but about an hour later I noticed a long ball of fur move across our living room window and watched as it scratched at our window. I ran to get the digital camera to get a close-up of him as he moved towards our back porch but as I tried to slowly open the back door he sensed me and quickly ran off into the woods. Guess I need to keep the camera closer to the porch so I can snap some pics for all of you.
It is simply amazing to me that since there has been a strong interest for me to do more nature observation and tracking I have noticed more and more of creation and creation has noticed more and more of me. I thank God for this sense of harmony that I find in the midst of nature.
