About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

    Wow – you got mighty close to that fox! They’re so skittish here, that one must be more used to seeing people? The last photo features the cuteness of them. The scratching ones…all I see is the potential for fleas 😉😂

      Well thank you TD. I am blushing. I was lucky to see this fox and it was basking in the sun, sometimes chewing its foot, then it bolted unfortunately, but I ran after it – unfortunately it ran into a ditch drain and it was dark inside. This was my first fox, so I was excited to see it!

      For sure Wayne. That fox was chewing its paw some of the time, snoozing in the sun some of the time. It was unfazed by the vehicles driving by, then it bolted and ran into a ditch drain. I followed it but it was dark inside the drain. I hated not getting its feet in the last pic but wanted people to know it was okay. I used to follow “The Dodo” on Facebook, but they post so frequently I quit following them. But they had a video once of someone’s pet fox and she would be petting it or giving it treats and it had this high-pitched laugh every time she touched it … just like a dog, it rolled over on its back and she’d scratch its tummy.

    A fox! I love foxes. In spite of having lived a good portion of my life in rural settings, I’ve only seen one.

      This was my first fox Linda – I was excited to see it! It was alternately snoozing in the sun and biting its paw and I was just across the road from it. Vehicles were going by, but it was fine with that, just gazing around.

    Nice captures, Linda! You don’t see these out in the open very often.

      Thank you Rebecca! I was excited to see this fox – my first one. It was snoozing when I first saw it. Then, between basking in the sunshine and biting its paw, I had a lot of opportunities to take its picture, but when it decided it was time to go, he/she rose up and and just bolted. I hated using the picture without its feet showing, but at least it finally stood up. I followed it to a ditch drain, where it disappeared in the darkness. It was not worried about vehicles driving right past it – I figured it would bolt then, but I guess it was used to them.

      Thank you Tom! It was exciting for me to see my first fox and fairly close up as well, just across a busy road. That fox was basking in the sun and picking at its one front paw, oblivious to all the people gawking at it and vehicles going by. It seemed very content. Congratulations on the new addition to your fossil collection. I hope you will show us a photo, like the dinosaur tooth you acquired a few years back.

    We get the occasional fox trotting through our neighborhood, but I never see any of them stand still long enough for me to look it over. I always think of the Dr. Seuss book “Fox In Socks” when I see one. Even though none of them ever wear socks. Oh well.

      This was my first sighting of a fox JP, so I was excited for that. Poor thing was snoozing and awoke to find a group of people clustered around it with cameras and/or phone cameras waiting for it to wake up and do something. It scratched its bugs, chewed on its paw (one of his/her black socks), then trotted away to a storm drain.
