We have wonderful blessing of having thousands of aches of wilderness and miles of beautiful hiking trails surrounding our city. Just a few steps down the trails and it is easy to forget that we live in a city with a population of around 125,000 just a few miles from Los Angeles.

One day I was out enjoying an afternoon hike when 2 beautiful K9s bounded up the trail past me. One was
black, white and brown spotted, the other had a beautiful red coat. A
minute later a man came running toward me and panted out "Did
my dog run past you?" I said yes, they headed that way and pointed in
the direction they had run. He looked confused.
"They? I only have one dog." Slowly the light dawned. His Hound had taken
off in hot pursuit of a Fox.

I have seen Deer, Coyotes, Rattle Snakes, Tarantulas, Skunks (dead), a Mountain Lion (also dead) and lots and lots of Rabbits. But this was my first Fox sighting and the inspiration for this tiny master piece.
