I wanted to share this image of this fox for a reason. If you look closely, you might notice that the fox is blind in one eye. Her, assuming it’s a her, ears are ragged, and she’s wet from the rain the night before. I’m not writing this in order to make you feel sad for her. In fact, she was quite healthy and doing well. I had just seen her cache two ground squirrels she had caught, possibly for a den with kits. But my reason for sharing this is because nature isn’t about just pretty, perfect animals. This fox represents much more about nature and the lives wild animals live. She was rightfully skittish of me and it took a lot of patience for me to even capture this image. Despite my best efforts, she obviously knew I was there.
