watching

Yesterday I wandered into a still closed garden, a place where in a normal time I would be volunteering. In spite of the sign saying that the garden is closed, volunteers have been told it is OK to visit as long as we follow social distancing rules and wear masks. I've been timing my visits for early morning and evening.

I shared the space with birds and rabbits. There were no other humans in sight.

A rabbit watched me watching him. As long as I didn't move too close he happily continued eating grass. He stopped for a minute to look at me, noticing a tall stalk of grass in front of him. I guess the single stalk looked tasty because in no time it was gone!
