Oh my lord Philip, what did you do ? Just let it sleep, and leave on it's own, or did you take a few shots from a safe distance, and then send it on it's way ! They are beautiful creatures, that are becoming scarce here in the States, but I would be afraid for my cat .

This is a wonderful photograph. We used to get a dog fox on our land when we had the smallholding and he used to walk right past you without a care. Foxes are beautiful to look at but very sly at times. One got my chickens one night and so we buried them. He came and dug them up one at a time and took them. I still admire the fox and he has to eat to survive. Nature can be harsh at times.

I normaly catch sight of her a couple of times a month, not normaly so close. I did find her asleep before in a garden, in fact I nearly tripped over her, she was laying inches from my feet as i walked around a border. I froze. standing silently holding my breath lest I wake her, It felt like time stood still, for at least 30 seconds anyway, then she opend her eyes and i swear if she could have rubbed her eyes in disbelief she would have, after a few seconds she realised it wasn't a dream and was up and away. That was a special day for me.

Thank you Philip for your added info. on your adventures with the wildlife. It is a very special thrill to experience wildlife in the "wild" Good thing you don't live in Bear territory! =:0

Not sure about getting up close with bears, wolves on the other hand, this is a wish yet to be fulfilled to get close to one would be great.

It's always wonderful to see anything to do with animals that is as lovely as this. We see to many things that make you feel sad and all animals are wonderful.

Thankyou Homely I agree, I would rather photograph animals than people any day.
