11.11.14 Passing By

Photo: Next door there is a house near the road, with a motion sensitive back light. For years, no one has lived there, but now an older friend of theirs is there. It's always been a bit thrilling , the light set off; seeing it in the deep of the night as you get up to go to the bathroom. Because a raccoon or possum won't do it. Has to be a bear, or coyote, living their quiet lives , trying their best to stay away from stupid humans that eat their neighborhoods for breakfast. It is a thrill to know they are our neighbors, passing by.
