In the secluded town of Monticello Indiana, live many majestic creatures. There are dear, rabbits, grumpy groundhogs, and trash-pilfering raccoons. There however is a new creature that has crept into town and been catching my eye. The mysterious and wonderous Red Fox. Lately I have been spotting the most gorgeous looking red fox here in Monticello. This beast wanders the town, doing fox things, ambling down the sidewalk, and showing no fear of the society that bustles about around her.
It is hard to catch her, I have only done it a few times. She is as elusive as she is majestic. It is impossible to see her without gaining a smile. I am grateful to live in a place where I can spot a little nature now and then.
Having a touch of nature around us helps our minds. Kids are always fascinated by animals. I don’t think adults lose that feeling, I think we just suppress it. For a little instant when we get to see some nature like a fox, we get to be kids again. Such moments connect us to nature and the earth. In times we’re so disconnected from each other and anything real, I grateful to get a few of these moments.
