Rabbit and Fox

 

 

When my sister and brother-in-law rented a cottage at Darnley, Prince Edward Island earlier this month, they had visitors.  They shared these photos of the wildlife near their cottage.  The fox and the rabbit were not around at the same time.  Perhaps, a good thing.

 

 

 

The fox was on the deck and they took the photo through the window, hence the black bar from the window down through the photo.  Maybe the fox was used to finding food leftovers from other renters; he/she wasn't shy around people.

My sister and her husband vacationed in Darnley PEI,

and sent these photos of views from their cottage windows. 

We weren't there but feel like we wanted to be

after seeing the pictures.

Surprise

Surprise.  Surprise carries sorrow or delight or sometimes both.

There is surprise and delight when sighting a red fox as it stalks insects, beetles or grasshoppers, perhaps voles or mice in the golden grass of a sand dune.  There is also sorrow or empathy for the captured prey, if it happens to be a small bird, or bird's eggs or turtle's eggs.

Life is full of surprises, full to the brim with delights and sorrows.

On the days when sorrow fills the cup, may there be equal measure of delight.  May the two find balance, this equilibrium which all of life seeks.

 Oh but, isn't this red fox gorgeous?
