Sometimes,
there are small places apart, that are a bit tough to get to, without being
seen by a predator, but once you get there, they become an oasis.
This here is a Small Secret Skunk Sanctuary. And a small secret place for others, too.
The volume of possible prey is small , the risk greater, going across broad fields.
The land slopes a bit beneath the stand of trees, so water gathers, and the growth is lush, rich with insect and vermin and mosses and foods.
The winged ones and the small creatures love this place , and in winter, you see the tracks, telling of the occasional forays they make to and from.
It's separate from the continuous great forest, then separated by farmers tilling and planting and weeding, come late spring.
It stands alone, rich and protective and fruitful, as the rains sweep down and the brash winds press through the trees and scatter water along the river nearby.
All these places have such ancient ways, known only to wildlife ,and not to us.
