July 13 2004:
Quick, Brown and Lazy

…and in my garden! Hardly a rare creature, but I’ve never seen a fox in my garden before. I usually only see them when driving back late at night. Fortunately, I was able to change over to my telephoto before he or she moved on.

Really great capture -- a gorgeous creature (providing you don't keep chickens!). Nothing so exciting happens in my yard. I love that you got her attention for the picture, before she could run away.

A beautiful creature beautifully taken.

wow - I always hope not to see them in our garden for obvious reasons but nonetheless I have a sneaking admiration for these beautiful creatures.

I remember years ago, my dad bought me a cheap noname 2x converter for my cheap noname telephoto lens, so I could photograph the foxes at the end of the garden... I sat there for a week and never got anything nearly as good as this.

Amazing. Doesn't seem to be too bothered about your interest in it.

Melanie		13-Jul-2004 16:35
Hehe, looks like he wants to know who the h*ll you are, and why did you disturb his nap! Lucky chance, and very well captured!

Guest		13-Jul-2004 16:27
Great shot, do you have chickens? do you still have chickens? Looks like he just had a good dinner :-)
