Out and About this Afternoon

While out trying to find a new place for interesting pictures I stumbled into a red fox and its den. I was setting up for a shot and took one last look around to see if I was missing anything. Sitting about fifty feet down a hill from me was this red fox.

I quickly forgot what I was there to shoot and slowly moved for a better position to photograph the fox. It was very much aware of where I was at all times but didn't really seem to mind that I was there. I think this was Mr. Fox because of the way it marked its territory while on the hunt for dinner. Before leaving for dinner it went in and out of the den several times.  I'm hoping that means later this spring little pups will emerge from the den.

I'm planning several more visits to the den for pictures so stay tuned for more and hopefully better pictures.
