Today I was late for work because I wanted to go out to the river to watch this year's Residential Program class return from their survival trip.
Several of us from the office went, because we have (most of us) been on the other side of the river. It brought back such powerful memories from my return last May. People change over the course of the year here at Wilderness Awareness School...it's an amazing process. Next week, I'll tell you a bit more and perhaps share some pics.
Today, it's too fresh to tell, and I want to do it well. In the mean time, here's a pic of my latest wildlife encounter....
Hey Linda,
ReplyDeleteCool picture. I remember talking about it with you walking out this morning.
Looking in Peterson's Mammals, I think I can tell who it is (or get within spitting distance anyway).
Hey Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words...it's one of the shrews, and I remember my cat bringing in one just like it a while back. Somehow I always thought shrews crawled along on their bellies...I was surprised to see this one trot across the path like a tiny little pig. I laughed out loud to see it.
Linda
Ever figure out what species the shrew was?
ReplyDeleteI think it's a Dusky Shrew, as that's the one most common around here...I still think it's really a fairy pig.
