...All things bright and beautiful all creatures great and small..."

From Lenore Dixon
From nature to my backyard--
hopping from the depths of my flower bed
 came a not so small baby bunny
exploring fresh greens in bounty.
From my patio window two curious senior cats
FRANKLIN and MAGNIFICAT
projected the primitive stance of the great cats of the jungle.
Crouching low against the floor
and faces pressed flat against the patio windows,
whiskers twitching with hunter madness,
the primal instincts of pounce and capture shivered through their now
 ELECTRIC BODIES.
When offered the opportunity to respond to this instinct
they nonchalantly sauntered through the now open patio doors
towards the now disappearing bunny
Their primal urging quickly faded
into thoughts of kibble in their food bowls back in the house!
Thanks be to the God of creatures great and small
 for the delight from these  four-legged brothers and sisters
 both domesticated and wild. "
