fox in the snow

Lots more has fallen – we are ankle deep again…

snow falling

just as I was taking photos this fox came and had a good look into the garden. We do see them quite often here, but not usually when holding a camera :)

    This is really frustrating – for the last few weeks I haven’t been able to access any of your lovely pics Lucy! I just see an empty box with a little red cross in the corner (which wont open the photo when I click on it). Obviously something to do with my settings but I cant work out what – anyone got any suggestions?? X

  3. Lucy says:

    oh no! Is it since I changed the look of the blog – I do have to go through a frankly more time consuming process to put the pics up, I wonder if that has changed it for you. Do they show up on flickr? link here

    glad you can see them Becky :)

  4. Kara says:

    Hooray! Just went on to flickr and could see all your pics there ok, then came back and they have all appeared here too :o ) I don’t understand how any of this works, but I’m glad I can see your photos again. X

    Wow cant believe the snow again and that fox !!
    Im freezing as just got back from Egypt !

  6. Lucy says:

    good :D I have no idea why that should make a difference either…

    Lucky you Nikki – we would love to visit Egypt! Davie is just back from working in Rotterdam and finding it very cold here too (obviously not quite such a big difference as yours!).

    Oh I love Foxes! I fell in love with them when I was walking on the Yorkshire moors and I turned a corner not looking where I was going and there was a Fox, it’s strange how we had both been minding our own buisness then noticed each other – they are extremely beautiful creatures. He sort of looked at me then wandered off.

    I’ve never caught one on camera though! Lucky you… It’s like an adapted tale of Goldilocks, dont go out leaving your porridge to cool down ;)

  8. Lucy says:

    They are amazing to meet like that, the delay while we stare at each other…

    LOL at Goldilocks, reminds me of the version in politically correct bedtime stories where Goldilocks is a vegan animal rights activist and the bears eat her as she is checking if they’re being exploited or not properly cared for :D

    Wow! How great to get photos of that gorgeous chap! But more snow? You poor souls!

    I love foxes. A few years ago we had a female fox who used to leave her cubs on our patio to play while she went in search of food. We used to sit and watch them play fighting :) We never managed to get pictures as good as yours though We had a little snow on Sunday but all gone now. I would like more but not until after I get back from Thursday’s funeral

  11. Lucy says:

    lots more has fallen overnight again – we are calf deep now!

    lovely babies Pamela, amazing that she left them there! I did once meet 6 cubs in the track (no camera of course) but the mother called them away quickly.

  12. Hannah says:

    Wow, that’s amazing!

    Lol at the politcally correct bedtime stories lol. I love when people take traditonal fairytale stories and butcher them ..in a vegan cruelty free way of course..they’re more fun to hear…after all just watch Shrek ^_^
