Camo

Camo

 

Into the woods he disappears

As a phantom in the day

At home in the shadows

As noisy squirrels play

 

He moves very slowly

And keeps his steps light

A dry creek is his road

Where he quietly walks by

 

He sneaks up to owls

Sleeping on a limb

Unknowing of his presence

There just under them

 

He's is walking free

Next to trunks and limbs

He is by a tree

And they can’t imagine him

 

After he has passed

They know they’ve been observed

But cannot say by what

Or when it occurred

    They can be so hard to see, sometimes impossible to see unless you are very, very patient.

      Yes. They are well camouflaged and in the woods quite hidden.

      Just saw him there. A fine write w c. I saw a fox or something crossing a country road, but was too far away to see it properly.

        Foxes are always nice to see. I have not seen one in a long while. I believe it was a red fox.
