On our daily evening walk, we spotted something walking on the ground ahead of us. It looked momentarily like an enormous insect, or a weird frog. But then we realized it was a bat.
< Alas
It stopped on the road, and I went right up to it and snapped a few photos (and took some video). It seemed to be in a bad state, and we guessed it didn’t have long to live. Up close it was remarkably cute, especially it’s tiny mousy face. When I got close it tucked it’s head down to the ground, as if to hide. I got very, very close (without touching) and saw it’s tiny black eyes looking at me.
It was terribly sad.
We left it there and continued on it’s way. Maybe shortly after we had gone it flew up to heaven?
RS – you aren’t supposed to make me cry first thing in the morning !!
