Autumn Colour

Monday, 7. September 2009, 20:09:56

The year is turning: the foxes are changing colour :smile:



This is the garden vixen. I found her tonight curled up neatly upon the mound, delicate black paws side by side, eyes and nose bright, the first of the fallen leaves scattered about her. She's keen and alert...she's always alert.

Her brush is thickening into the cold season's warming blanket. I'm looking forward to seeing her in her full winter coat :smile:

She's the prettiest fox that we've had coming for many years :smile:

Thanks! :smile:

She really is a stunner. Foxy!

Robin 7. September 2009, 21:37

Perfect pose. A wonderful picture. She's very expressive

Stardancer 7. September 2009, 22:24

Very pretty fox. Her eyes look almost like a cat's in this photo.

She's gorgeous!

Beautiful. I’ve always thought foxes look their best in winter. :up:

Fabulous shot!

Perfect pose, tone and expression. She looks truly pretty.

Hermitess 9. September 2009, 21:26

That's beautiful!

I made her my new computer wallpaper :happy:

I think her thickening fur makes such a cozy statement, so plush and lovely! great colours here, Adele :smile:

Foxes must be a cross between cat and dog eh?

Neil 10. September 2009, 19:59

great photo

Adele 11. September 2009, 18:07

@San - she's becoming a big favourite with me :D

And yes, they are very much a mix of cat and dog. An interesting combination of climbing trees, sunbathing, stealing shoes and playing with tennis balls :eyes:

Adele 11. September 2009, 18:08

@Robin - a lot of people remark that she seems to have black eyeliner on! She's so pretty.

Adele 11. September 2009, 18:08

@Stardancer - she's very lithe and graceful like a cat, too :cat: :smile:

Adele 11. September 2009, 18:09

@Words - I certainly think so! :smile: She's pretty young, I think; probably 18 months.

Adele 11. September 2009, 18:09

@Eric - so do I, especially when you catch them against a backdrop of snow or frost! :smile:

Adele 11. September 2009, 18:11

@Darko - she's the sort of fox who makes everyone smile! :smile:

Adele 11. September 2009, 18:12

@Shaunak - she's quite tricky to photograph, because I have to take her after dark without a flash...so I'm glad when it works! :smile:

Adele 11. September 2009, 18:14

@Lindsay - oh good! :smile: Would you like a larger copy?

Adele 11. September 2009, 18:16

@Jill - a fox is a full spectrum of colours in the form of a small animal :smile:

Adele 11. September 2009, 18:16

@Neil - thanks :smile:
