“Don’t you find it a beautiful clean thought, a world empty of people, just uninterrupted grass, and a hare sitting up?”
― D.H. Lawrence

Some of the local fauna we ran across on my latest walk/jaunt/jog/amble with the dog:

Racoons.

Rabbits – which the dog was practically foaming at the mouth to chase.

Goodness knows what this is – either a groundhog or a beaver. Whatever it was, it was as long as my leg and could scuttle like lightning! I barely snapped a shot before it took off through the fence. Mika just about lost it over this one, the rabbits were as nothing to it!

They were highly suspicious of us and moved immediately to the other side of the pasture. I am not from around these parts and the cows are snobs who declined to make my acquaintance.
