Foxy Lady

Pin It

It was a pretty gloomy morning. Overcast, cold, foggy. Another blechy day.

..........At about noon the sun came out. Yay!

When the sun comes out, it hits the back of the house. I like to open the back door & sand on the deck overlooking the yard. Even though it was only 30 degrees out, it felt soooooooo good.

So, I was looking over towards the hill, and I see something orange. I squint. A fox! 

A red fox to be exact. Huge. It was the size of a dog, slightly smaller than say, a German Shepard. I actually looked the animal up on the internet, making sure I wasn't taking pictures of someone's loose dog!

He looks cold. :-(

I ran inside & grabbed my camera. He was looking in my direction, and I snapped a few photos. Yeah, my picture taking skills need some work.

...and sad.

After a few moments, he curled in & made himself comfy.

Oh, more pictures!

Silly me decided to go around the side of the house to see if I could get slightly closer. I mean, it's hard taking photos from hundreds of feet away when you don't know how to use the f-stop, thingamajig, and dohicky on the camera!  Well, let me just say, that walking in snow is VERY loud out here. I scared him & he ran away towards the creek bed. :-(

Well, I'm not gonna go hunting for it's den! 

It was a beautiful animal, and I cannot wait to get more pictures of it! I am OK with it being here, and it's family, as long as it stays on the other side of our small dry creek bed along the side of the house. I have cats & chickens & a bunny....don't want the fox around them thinking, "Lunch!"

See ya later, Foxy lady (errrrr....or guy *shrug*.)
