I keep thinking that last year was a year with too little time out in the great outdoors... but while sifting through photos trying to decide what to post I've realized although it was too little it wasn't too bad. Hope you like.

how do you get that close to a fox?

2 tham radix

I spotted it crossing an old overgrown field, it was approaching an old abandoned house, the fox and I were on opposite sides of the house so when it went out of my view I walked quickly to the corner of the house diagonally opposite the one were the fox had disappeared from view... hunkered down and hoped the fox was going to skirt the house... it did, and as you can see from what looks like a surprised look on its face, all but walked into me. It was all rather funny. Wish I had the camera angled down more to better catch just how hard he jammed those front legs into the ground to come to a stop but he only gave me the chance at the one shot.

Cracking up here thinking about just how surprised that poor little guy looked when he came around the corner.

plan sh!t luck. I'm 53... I've been out hiking and exploring since I was probably 5 and that was the closest I ever was to a fox... just a simple case of being in the right place at the right time.
