There are Spring stirrings all around with our practical heat wave here in Minnesota. I am sure it is short lived for now. But the last week has been glorious with both sunshine and warm temps. It has been invigorating to get out and take it all in.
This is true for the animals in nature also. Some are coming out of hibernation. Some are spawning offspring, and the rest are just coming out to explore as we are.
This photo feature is from an artist from Finland, Ossi Saarinen. Like my dear friends in town, Regina Williams and Ann Michels, they use their fine skills with a lens and combine them with amazing patience to capture just the right moment. His images have not only detail, but character as well. They resemble cuddly pets rather than feral animals in the wild. I sometimes talk about my childhood and my two pet foxes. There did not seem to be a lot of distinction between a puppy and a pup red fox at that age for me. It is a wonder; that bond between all living things. Keep your eyes open in stillness and see if you can share some of the living, breathing space with them for an instant in this change of seasons.
