Lizards scrambled along the dry grounds, between the tufts of long growth, sliding beneath the blown, dried leaves.
In a fertile hollow, tunneling moles left brown, rock, and pebble laden mounds of under soil atop the green grass. Birds picked through that treasure, feeding on larvae and beetles. Mother deer, fed on shrubbery with their delicate, naive young, watching out for predators, and unappreciative two-leggeds.

Their pellets dried to dust and their corrosive feces left until next season, when they’ll return to maraud new nests. Owls have exhausted the rabbits, and have moved on to their next domain.
Far above the vista, hawks circle and call, for the off chance of a stray squirrel, or to raid the nests of other birds. Farther still are eagles, shaping a perspective that overlooks several of these scenes. Their territories transcend the lower limitations, and their visage is directly related to their success.
