Welcome to Saturday Sparks 340!
Starting off todays party with this cute little guy.
I first spotted him walking across our backyard and it reminded me of a night not long ago.
It was a typical summer night; the air was warm, our windows were open. Suddenly, our peaceful evening was interrupted with the sounds of a commotion coming from the woods next to our front field. A distressed cry from something filled the air.
We grabbed our spot light and wandered over to investigate. We shined the light in the direction of the pitiful cries and saw a large porcupine clinging to the top branch of a small tree - much too small to support her weight. We could still hear something crashing through the woods and turned the light to see a coyote in pursuit of the quilled creature. Darling hubby let out a loud yell and the coyote came to an abrupt stop, turned and ran off in the opposite direction. This was a lucky break for the porcupine, as the tree branch broke right after and she fell to the ground. She sat for a moment, stunned from the fall and then slowly wandered off.
Perhaps this little guy is the offspring of the lucky one - I like to think so.
