so I walked up to the top of the hill a few days ago where I can get some phone reception and then I sat down on a log where I could look down the far side of the hill ...as I sat down I set my camera down beside me and began thinking about I what I might do that was exciting....considering that travel is pretty restricted unless you have a private jet...by the way we are not "all in this together"...not by a long shot...I don't expect to see Jeff Bezos masked up in the walmart anytime soon...or ever...not a lot of billionaires showing up in the obituaries you might have noticed. as I sat on the log wondering how I was going to keep up my work as what I recently heard Rick Steves the travel guy refer to as a "Pleasure Activist"...nice term...sounds a little less shocking than Hedonist which I generally use to describe myself...I started thinking perhaps I should spend some of my savings on an image consultant as I had just read about a woman named Karla Welch who was named the most "Powerful stylist in 2017" by the "Hollywood Reporter"...yeah thats what I need is to have a fashion consultant...and she dresses that Beiber fellow among others...and I could by an etegere and go to a soiree or two...then I noticed something moving up the hill towards me and I picked up my camera as it got closer...it sat down for a moment and looked down the hill as if enjoying the view....as I was...then it stood up and came towards me...the wind was blowing in my face so the fox never smelled my scent and I filmed it as best I could as it got closer and closer then the wind changed and the fox got my scent and stared at me for a few seconds then trotted away. This encounter was thrilling for me and I suddenly realized the photography is where my interests are. And of course as if to reinforce this idea that I should continue with photography I found a good buy on another Nikon camera for a hundred bucks in the pawn shop and then went into a thrift store and found for a buck a DVD with 12 hours of photography instruction by Joel Satore a great nature photographer for National Geographic. so I guess I will forget about the stylist and the etegere and the soiree...unless of course I get invited to a soiree where I might rub shoulders with the stylish folks...or not."
Jesus saith, Ye ask who are those that draw us to the Kingdom if the Kingdom is in Heaven?...the fowls of the air, and all beasts that are under the earth or upon the earth, and fishes of the sea, these are they that draw you, and the Kingdom of Heaven is within you"

the message said that the video format was not supported
so I will have to figure out how to change the format
I think this image is of the fox looking down the hill
I have a couple of stills but the video is much better
