Camera-Critters #82
Saturday, October 31, 2009


I was recovering from the flu. I thought I was better, and I decided to go for a walk, because it was a nice day. Halfway through the walk, I realized that I was really pushing myself, because I was wearing out real fast, and my legs were not cooperating.

However, I still pushed, because my theory is that if you sit and do nothing, then you definitely won't have any energy. So, I continued walking. Unfortunately, I was concentrating more on convincing my legs to carry me further than I was concentrating on my surroundings.

Usually, I'm focused on every little movement, every flash of color, every slight sound... this day, I was not so focused. That would be the reason why my heart jumped into my throat when I heard a loud ruckus almost right next to me, and then this jumped out of the woods right in front of me...

I think we were both equally surprised to see each other.
I was very grateful to see her, but was she grateful?
I'm thinking, not so much.

Lemme tell ya - humans wouldn't be worried about weight loss pills if we could all move like this! Geesh, she was F.A.S.T.!!!
