Foxes. That’s so cool. I used to have the weirdest, hooked/droopy nosed foxes around my … life/yard, once. They were just the weirdest looking animals I’ve ever seen. TALL, for foxes: long legs. Short hair. Thin. Long, droopy snout, tipped with a big black rubber-ball looking … nostril arrangement. Just the weirdest animal.

Red foxes are soooo beautiful.

Flora and Fauna are totally awesome parts of God's creation…

Check out one of the great minds at CSU in Fort Collins: HOLMES ROLSTON III:

"Rolston [ ] University Distinguished Professor at Colorado State and a Presbyterian minister, is one of the world's leading advocates for protecting the Earth's biodiversity and ecology in recognition of the intrinsic value of creation, including the ongoing evolutionary genesis in the natural world. In philosophical circles, he is widely known as the "father of environmental ethics." In theological circles, he is known for his concept of a sacred, prolific, yet "cruciform" creation… Rolston has won admirers in some unlikely places. While most philosophers would proudly include in their vita that they had been invited to deliver an address at the World Congress of Philosophy, as Rolston was in 1998, he is equally proud of his 1999 invitation to give a distinguished lecture to the Yellowstone National Park Scientific Conference on the conservation of wild nature. He has said he thinks it is as important to publish in the Journal of Forestry as in Ethics. "I am much encouraged to get a sympathetic hearing, often from those I might first have taken to be religion's cultured despisers." "

Speaking of wildlife…

My neighbor's tree… the limb which is SO dead but still got left by the neighbor's tree trimming contractor… now I love that thing because one day it had 2 woodpeckers pecking holes on it at the same time. I've also seen a red fox in my yard twice recently…
