Let sleeping rocks lie

…about the musicZZzzzz…
As I passed this rock the other day, one I’ve passed many times, the corner of my eye caught something a little different.
I turned, and noticed what at first glance looked like a darker rock atop this larger one.
It didn’t move. Um, like a rock. Well behaved. Stable. Steady as a… rock.
I looked a little closer.

Oh. Not a rock. I didn’t want to get any closer, since I agree with Chaucer: “It is nought good a slepyng hound to wake.”
Nor, a slepyng fox!

The musical interlude, INTROSPECT @ 2:30 lulled me off to sleep three separate times, but then I was up at 3a.m. taking Melva to the airport and am sleep deprived for sure. This pic captures yet another stellar moment in your forays outside your studio. Are all the foxes on SJI gray ones? The more often seen red foxes must have been hiding.
The Shapiro poetics have a humorous tone to them this morning:

Yup, I look like a rock lobster when I sit on a rock in the sun too long…
