Groundhog

COM

We were taking our cat to the vet yesterday morning when we saw a groundhog. He was exploring alongside the road as we drove by without pause. We would have been late for the appointment had we taken the time to stop and take a picture, sigh.

Returning home we saw another groundhog.  He was at an abandoned house not far from our home. When we first spotted him he was crawling under a building. How he escaped from beneath this building without me seeing him I will never know. Maybe there was a family of groundhogs holing up there.

Anyway, when I looked around the property I saw the pictured groundhog. Instinctively I moved from where I had perched myself  and walked across the yard, almost tiptoeing. Now in view of one another, we pause. Realizing there's not immediate threat the groundhog disappears beneath the old house.

Saturday my daughter and I ran some errands in town. During which time we past a local pizza joint. When I looked out the window I saw this groundhog nosing around the mountainside. Once we got turned around I didn't see him anymore and thought I had just imagined seeing the groundhog, until... I saw movement again. Sadly my camera settings weren't set on the best setting to capture the moment and what came out was an underexposed picture. The SUV's movement didn't help either... but, I wanted to share him with you anyway as I thought it odd he was on the mountain instead of lower ground. 


Later, red-orange blushed the evening sky as geese flew into the sunset breaking v formation only once to reform. It was a great way to end the day.
