Fantastic Little Fox

We’re calling him Tripod. He’s got a bum front leg. 

I’ve been fascinated with foxes for a long time - but it wasn’t until the last week that I actually got a look at a real, live fox! The first time was in our backyard. I was so excited - just standing by the back door at dusk was… pause for dramatic effect - magical! I’ve always wanted to look a fox in the eye in the wild and this was pretty close!!

Yesterday morning, I saw him again down the road. 

And then today… well, there he was again, likely turning in for the day after catching breakfast (if wildlife grosses you out, don’t scroll down). I had my camera in my lap so Adam turned the car around and these are the photos I got from my seat. I always hoped I’d get to see a fox this close up, but to get photos too?! Ahh!! Life dream = complete!! 

Before I get any lectures, I know I know, foxes are wild animals and we’d never get close or let our children near!
