Foxy Momma 2

Thanks for the snack. It was yummy.

We often sit out in the yard and watch the foxes. Sometimes there will be one or two, or as many as four, but not always all at the same time. When she came for a visit before dark Sunday, I sat in the grass near her and we had a photo session and a nice chat. ;-)

There is a mosquito on her ear.

how horrid animal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!you take this photograph very bad

17 May 2012 7:59am

@omid: She is very friendly and tame. She is just licking her face because she just ate the food we put out for her. I'm not sure I understand your comment. ???

Wendy from Canterbury, New Zealand

She is so pretty, amazing "chincilla" type agouti coat, such an intense and unique expression. I am decidedly jealous of you Barbara!

Ronnie 2¢ from Atlantic Shores, United Kingdom

Far more healthy than my urban foxes in London . . the mosquito looks much the same, though !

17 May 2012 10:09am

@Ronnie 2¢: ;-) I guess a mosquito looks the same anywhere in the world. They were so big in Alaska that they called them their state bird.

Curly from South Shields, United Kingdom

Two amazing shots, we rarely see foxes around here, but when we do they are l;ot more skinny than this example.

This really looks as though she is comfortable with her camera friend. There's that tongue. I swear most of my animal photos have that tongue out.

Another beautiful shot of this foxy mama! I love that you caught the mosquito, too! Her eyes are striking.

17 May 2012 4:19pm

@B.Sully: I wish she would let me thump the mosquito off of her, but I'm sure she would run away.
