Friday's Forest Trek

Morning sky

We altered our route a bit this morning just to be different.  In so doing we discovered what seems to be the entrance to a fox den; we think it's probably foxes for several reasons.  I saw one the last time we were up here, and there's fox poop on one of our septic tank covers.  I'd love to be able to get a photo of a red fox sometime in the near future.  We had a good outing in the forest, and now we're watching the sky where clouds are building in advance of possible showers.  Glad I got in all the mowing and weeding I needed to do over the past two days.

Fox scat near our place makes me think this is a den entrance
