Fox News

We’ve had a busy spring and early summer and I want to share some photos of the family of foxes we have living with us on our property. The litter must have been born in the bushes or woods close to our house, and in the past few weeks we have been watching the young ones enjoying life, playing and tumbling around like all young animals do, in the grass and among the trees and bushes. They are beautiful and so fun to watch.

A young fox is in a grassy area with trees around behind and to the left. It is standing sideways with its body facing to the right, head turned, looking at the viewer.

Three of the fox cubs looking at me (well mostly).

Three young foxes are in a grassy area with trees around behind. One is sitting upright looking at the viewer, another is lying down looking at us with head slightly raised from the grass. The left most fox is half sitting, looking off to the left of the frame.

And more foxes. What do you do when they keep playing in your garden? You have to take pictures! These were all taken in very low light, in the late evening, and at quite a distance, so it’s amazing that they came out at all!

Two young foxes are in a grassy area with trees and bushes around behind and to the left. the left one is sitting half upright looking at the viewer, the other is running towards the left of the frame with all four feet off the ground, and tail outstretched.

Have a great summer, friends!
