Call Of The Wild

I had a couple of chance encounters with nature in the city yesterday and today. Last night I came home late and as I pulled into the drive way I noticed some movement in the little garden on the side. I went to look and it was a wild rabbit scrounging around for food. Now usually rabbits are pretty skittish, but this one just stayed there. He let me get close enough to pet him for a bit. Since I had some popcorn left from the movie, I dumped it out for him to eat, he seamed to like it.

Today, I was taking a brake at work. Since it was such a nice day I went up to the roof to take my break. Although it may sound strange there is some grass up there. It's an old building and I guess over the years some dirt accumilated on the room and some grass and weeds started growing. Well as I was up there I saw that a family of ducks were rasing there family there. The picture of the mother is above.

It is interesting that in the city, where man has supplanted nature, it is still there. No matter what we throw at it, nature still survives. There is a lot to learn from it, but for now I'll just sit and enjoy it.
