The Little Foxes

We were driving down the highway a few days ago, and look what we saw. A little fox! Well, actually there was a pair of them, but they were so far apart that I could only snap one. They were far away, and very watchful. I think we may even have been watching each other.

HI Ginny Yes it is always lovely to come across foxes. It looks like the evening sun was on them.

This past spring there was a den of foxes under my girlfriend's storage shed. We kept seeing the young ones come out to play at around dusk each night and had trouble telling what they were. Then one evening we got some great looks and pictures of them and they were foxes!

so beautiful, we saw a pair once, but it was in the dark and no photos. these are great shots of her/him... so sweet.

Alice said...

Great shots. I do like the evening sun on them.

Neat pictures! I get so excited when I see a fox. Around here, people say that if you see a Red Fox, luck will come your way!! Just think...this means you will more than likely have double luck since you saw two of them! lol.
I don't believe in Luck....I call it Blessings. Enjoyed these photos..
Have a great day.

Good morning, Ginny. In all the time we've lived in the valley, I have seen a fox exactly once. It was early morning at work and he ran low, almost gliding like a shadow, across a wide expanse of lawn into the brush. I was so surprise. There was no time to pull out my camera but it made an indelible memory.

Great photos of the little fox. One time when we were driving in the mountains, one ran across in front of our car. Of course I did not get a picture --but he was a big one.

Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Betsy

What cool pictures! I love foxes

Cheryl @ TFD said...

They are pretty animals and we often see one running across our Back 6. I did worry when the kittens were very young that they might sneak up to the back yard and try to nab one. I guess it all depends on how hungry they are! Pretty photos!

You were lucky to see the fox. Good pictures.

Greetings,

Ann said...

they area so pretty. I occasionally see one run across the road when I'm driving in the morning.

Rose said...

Fabulous, Ginny! We very seldom see a fox...I get such a thrill when we do.

Linda said...

Delightful, Ginny! I love foxes.

Tamago said...

What an adorable fox! I don't think I have ever met a fox in the wild. I love their big tail :-)

SquirrelQueen said...

They are so cute. We see them once in awhile in the late evening driving back from the lake but it's always too dark for photos plus they are usually across a field.

LC said...

They are such elegant looking little animals. Foxes on the coast have seemed to coexist in our urban areas (except for when one was jumping up and stealing newspapers out of newspaper tubes in a relative's neighborhood).

But I am hearing from friends and relatives in our region that foxes they have spotted recently no longer look well but mangy and emaciated. Np clue as to cause.

Dee said...

I have only seen one..they are so pretty and quick.

Foxes are pretty and graceful and I like their glowing red color.
