Quite the blessing, but I did not have a camera. I came to your blog to read after seeing Head of the Holler. You made me feel so good when you told the story of being proud of your Kentucky accent. I can't wait to read your books!<br />Buzzard Roost Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10130692927135577408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736523594228656794.post-6565600910264787652013-10-08T20:46:13.643-07:002013-10-08T20:46:13.643-07:00Really impressive article Silas.

I encountered a fox carrying a rabbit back to her den. I was wearing a rain poncho and she did not see me as a human. She came within 10 feet before she stopped. We had our Moment together, then she moved on around me..

As we sat staring at each other, I grappled with the same thoughts about taking his picture. His eyes reminded me of the picture of young Afghan woman on the National Geographic cover, years ago (http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2002/04/afghan-girl/index-text). Fierce, wise, and not at all excited about me taking his picture. I spent long minutes just staring up at him, very humbled in his presence. I took a picture of him finally, but felt oddly guilty about it. It felt like such a gift to spend time with him that I felt as if I'd overstepped my bounds.Jennifer Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736523594228656794.post-1028200337758016912013-09-27T08:41:38.963-07:002013-09-27T08:41:38.963-07:00A beautiful, heartfelt post.
