We Named Him Alfie

We love nature.  I can’t imagine living somewhere where you couldn’t see deer, or a fox as you are leaving for work, hear owls, or encounter this little guy.  While out one night we heard a little rustle in the grass and shined our light over to see this little guy just strolling through our yard, not having a care in the world.  We watched him as he just went about his way, then he crawled up on top of our old chicken coup and that’s when we decided to get under him and take some pics.  He didn’t seem like he minded, never once got a hiss out of him.  He just walked along and we just kept snapping pics.  After a bit we named him Alfie.  I have no idea where Alfie went after our brief encounter but I just wanted to share and say, nature is cool.  Get out and enjoy whenever you can.  I can’t remember half the crap I watch on TV, but I will always remember little Alfie.
