Congratulations to Ted ellis for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 6 votes - View Previous Winners
19 images. Could be 50+.
Photographing fox in my backyard has been a thrill.
The first time I photographed a fox was in 2013. At the time, I was set up for backyard birds. It was January. I got three shots (1 male, 1 female) passing thru. Not anything to brag about. I saved the shots.
Over the years since. There have been many fleeting moments seeing a fox. By the time I got my camera ready.....gone. Hmmm...maybe next time.
The series of images (June 1-9) were shot from an elevated backyard patio deck and in a portable blind below my deck.
Enjoy.

Thank you Chuck. I have been fortunate all this is happening in front of me and I am capturing all the fun. The rodent in the mouth is a nice addition.
