Fantastic!

I can't begin to say how excited I was to get up close to this beautiful fox. It was sat on the side of the road and when I got out of the car to try and take a few pictures it trotted across the road and sat no more than two metres away.

The light was poor as it was the end of the day and it had started to rain so these are a little grainy but I could have sat for ages admiring the beauty before me. It was as if it was posing for me and I have several wonderful shots. I was itching to share these pictures with you but I have only picked a few for today and will save some more for another day.

It appears to be smiling and I love the regal profile in the third image. 

Candid Fox

I wasn't going to bother posting these shots because to be honest they're not particularly sharp.  But I thought the quality comes in the candid nature of the pictures especially the second one where this beautiful fox was having a scratch.

Unfortunately I didn't have my long lens on camera at the time.  I took these pictures and then changed lenses but as I was in the process of changing over the fox decided to disappear back over the wall and into the undergrowth.

It was a real treat to see this wonderful creature out and about in the middle of the day and something I am sure I will remember for a long time.
