I saw a weasel today! OK. Mebbe not. It might have been a polecat,
a stoat, a ferret, a mink. Whatev. No matter. The point is, I spied a member of the Mustelidae family casually crossing the trail in front of me!
I had never seen a "weasel" in the wild before (other than exemplars of the human kind).
I was thrilled

That is so cool, Jonas!
ReplyDeleteI once saw a baby Marten while out on a trail ride with friends. It was so small, I thought it was a kitten... until it opened it's gaping maw of a mouth and tried to gnaw the leg off one of the horses.
I think it was rabid... we all galloped off like a bunch of sissies! :-)
and to think he word "weasel" has negative connotations. for shame!!!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! Come to think of it I haven;t seen one in the wild either. I think the most exciting thing I saw in the wild was a white lynx. My god it was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCute little thing. I would love to see one. It must have made your day!
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, it's very cute. The closest thing to that I've seen in the wild is a mongoose. And this area is lousy with groundhogs, which I also think are enchanting.
ReplyDeleteHe looks as if he has a lot that he wished he could say....
ReplyDeleteUp here we just call them dinner.
ReplyDeleteI AM SO KIDDING, JONAS!
A gift from nature...(to the plate...kidding, again!)
....The exact opposite emotions that their human counterparts that you mentioned evoke.

I gotta say, I loved the commentary! Thank you! So much so that there seems to be another blog post gestating in the ol' brainbox.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about animal encounters that strikes so deep within the human soul...and leaves us with such indelible reveries?
