Fight or Flight (Aug 12 2003 06:57 GMT) - The summer heat and lack of rains lowered the Meramec to the point where I could scramble down its banks tonight and walk along the river bed. The hill leading down was steep and rough and a year ago I wouldn't have tried it, but days of walking, always on the look out for a new angle for a photograph have increased my agility. Among the rough stones small frogs, no bigger than a beetle or a dime, were hoping away from me as fast as they could, some jumping into the river to avoid me -- becoming a real treat for the surprisingly large fish along the edge. I felt bad that my shadow was triggering their instinctive flight response, but I imagine that the known terror was less frightening than the unknown. Can't fight instincts -- animals react to threats either by running, or by turning and standing to fight. |
