The rus in urbe view is from our living room window: steep slope, steps, wild flower seeds sprouting (I hope - I can, at least, make out some poppies that look quite healthy). And if you look very, very closely, about a quarter of the way up, there's a large red-tailed hawk disemboweling a rabbit. At least, she was disemboweling it very messily yesterday evening: this morning she was enjoying it in a somewhat tidier way, nose to tail. I am (a) delighted by such a close-up view of wildlife (b) delighted that one rabbit the less is eating my wildflower shoots (c) decidedly sorry for the rabbit. I'm aware that these opinions aren't exactly compatible.
