Nature in the city
This morning Mom opened my door and said, "You have to look out the bathroom window if you can see through the trees." Intrigued, I followed her into the bathroom. Far away on our terrace three deer sat in a row staring at the house. Mom said when she'd opened the shades in the kitchen all three were looking right at her. Then when we pulled up at church there was a very large turkey standing by the road. He was gobble-gobbling and nearly got run down by a car because he was too busy talking. Seriously, though, he was huge! When you live in the city you don't necessarily expect to encounter nature in such proximity. Not too long ago we had a beautiful red fox sniffing around the backyard. I like being reminded of God when I see unexpected nature sightings.

I see ducks! and out my back window, a red fire hydrant in the distance. Still, no turkeys.....yet.
I looked out our bedroom window one snowy night and glimpsed a fox dashing away from the pond toward one of our neighbors' yards - he was flying. It was beautiful.
No, I don't remember why I was looking out the window in the middle of the night.
And Jeremy, please explain - how do you consider a hydrant to be nature? Methinks you need to get out in the country more.
