This morning on the half mile of canal towpath I spooked a little critter, and it started running away, down the path ahead. From my angle I couldn't see much in the twilight, just the white tip of its tail. I assumed it was a bunny, but it wasn't moving like a bunny. The tail was swaying around too much for a bunny. I accelerated to get a better view, and got to about 20 feet from it when it shot off on a tangent and vanished. I've seen a fox at that location a couple times, but now I'm thinking it was a bunny after all.

A couple minutes later, back on pavement, I saw a big deer grazing right next to the road. It jumped in my direction when I passed, then crashed into the woods.

A couple minutes later another deer ran across the road in front of me.

Good times!
