Life changes yet stays the same

Just a very short post today as we have to travel to a faraway neurosurgeon. He's been my surgeon for a long time now, and it's interesting to think of how much my life has changed over the long time since he first operated on my spine.

Like this girl joining our family...

... and my new-found love of tracking our wildlife using trail cameras. The next photo is special. In the years I've had trail cameras, this is the very first photo of a Gray Fox. It is a "species of concern" in our area, and I'm thrilled to see one in our neck of the woods.

Believe it or not, gray foxes can climb trees due to their unique forelimbs. That cool fact had me wondering if I could entice him to climb a tree in front of a camera. Hmm.
Have a great day!

    That fox is beautiful!

    I am always amazed when I see the red foxes in my area jump our fence. They move just like a cat....one second standing next to the fence, the next a vertical leap to the top of the fence, a moment of balance and then down into the yard. They definitely do not jump like a dog despite being more dog than cat genetically.

    Hope you appointment goes well. Thinking of you. That is one cool fox. Momma says she has seen 2 in her life. But for me I have seen none. I sure would like to meet one. I too can climb trees. My momma is amazed at this. Maybe I could climb a tree with a cool fox like that.
    Blessings,
