Young fox out early,
sees last night’s smells with her nose:
tracks, traces, imprints.
Young man out early,
slumps home, his senses awry,
outfoxed by vodka.

Hee, hee. Glad you appreciated my sense of humour here:-) yes, I’m very lucky, Inese, to be able to take these pictures, although will always regret not capturing one of an albino squirrel with ruby-red eyes that visited my garden a few years ago. Aparently they are extremely rare.

I have only seen an albino jackdaw once. Ah, and an albino tiger. Hope you will see that squirrel again.

The tiger was in Vegas 😉

They say there’s no end to what you can find in Vegas. I can imagine an albino tiger is the sort of pet that a wealthy casino owner would have, both to show off and to keep his clientele in order! I see a James Bond movie coming on…

I think it was in Mirage, years ago. Had to pay to see him 🙂

I’m so glad you loved my haiku duo today, Sunshine! That dear little fox was the first thing I saw out of my window today, when I opened the curtains. It was next door, having a really good sniff of every inch of the garden and not minding me photographing it at all. Even glanced up at me a few times, without showing an ounce of fear.

Thank you, Sylvia. I’m glad you love the image:-) I think it’s my best fox picture yet, as the suject was very calm and unafraid of me.
