Parting Shots


Fall has returned - all to soon. This may be my last frog photo of the season. This week the wildlife was busy getting ready for the winter. On the same dawn a fox and moose crossed our backyard within minutes of each other. I saw the white tip of the fox bouncing across the back field as Lindley pointed it out to me.
A few minutes later he called to me in as I was in the shower, "Moose!" I missed it.
It was a huge bull moose, he told me.
Later in the day he went down to Beatitude Pond and watched three frolicking river otters. When I came home later, one was still swimming about, unphased by our presence.
