EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot captured by Terry Whittaker, we are transported to the picturesque riverside of Kent, England. Amidst a lush tapestry of vibrant vegetation, a charming water vole indulges in a delectable feast. This delightful scene not only showcases the beauty of nature but also holds an intriguing secret. Did you know that the beloved character Ratty from Kenneth Grahams' classic tale "Wind in the Willows" was actually inspired by these adorable creatures? Yes, it's true! The water vole depicted here is none other than Ratty's real-life relative! As we marvel at this image, we can't help but imagine our furry friend scurrying about his own whimsical adventures along the riverbank. With its dainty paws delicately plucking at succulent greens and its tiny whiskers twitching with excitement, this water vole reminds us of the magic that lies within our natural world. So next time you find yourself lost in the pages of "Wind in the Willows" remember that these enchanting creatures truly exist right on our doorstep. Let their playful spirit inspire you to explore your own backyard and discover hidden wonders waiting to be unveiled.
