yet another casual morning

While standing on the rustic roadside, I noticed something walking down the mud road… a mongoose. As I looked up, there were two more behind it… a family of them walking together in a group.

Talk about timing – just then a scooter came rattling down the same road… they disappeared into the bushes.

Still it had been a magical start to the day 🙂
