Identified.

After reviewing CCTV footage for evidence of the unauthorized visitor, I identified it. This fox followed a path I had shovelled out then turned, bounding along my footpath to avoid walking in the deeper untouched snow. At this point it stopped to scan the area ahead before proceeding.

Regarded.

This fox and I regarded one another with a mutually safe distance between us.

Happy to let it be.

This spider, species unknown, spun its web just off the surface of the siding on the back of the house. I’m happy to let it be.
