The other day I was out for a walk, and at two separate times I stopped to check my texts.

And both times I stopped to check my texts, when I looked up, I saw animals.

But the sightings were quick, I couldn't be sure if the first was a rabbit or a squirrel it happened so swiftly, although I'm sure the second one was indeed an industrious raccoon.

Thus, lesson learned, don't check your texts or play with your phone when walking around in nature.

Who knows what animal sightings you may miss while doing something you could easily accomplish once relaxing back at your digs.

*The second sighting was actually at a traffic light close to but not within nature. I thought I was safe!
