No - I did not paint these!


The fox came back and is now a regular visitor. 
He is looking at himself in the window reflection. (click on image)
He rests his head on the ledge, grooms himself, 
and then looks at himself again. I wonder if he thinks 
there is another fox in front of him. I say "him",
but have not seen the usual sign of a male! Too much fur.
It has been amazing and wonderful for Jim and myself
to have the opportunity to get so close.
We wouldn't be so happy if we had chickens...
and Little Red Riding Hood does come to mind 
when I look at that sharp nose.

  2. I'd probably be dumb enough to try to make friends with him. Probably not the best idea. ;)

  6. I have such a heart for foxes. We used to see a pair of them on my work grounds but I haven't seen them now for almost a year. I often wonder about them and hope they are ok. This little one is gorgeous!

  7. How cool is that! Did you take all these photos on the same day or does he come to that same area every time?

    Very neat to be able to observe wildlife from the comfort of your home.

  9. He's such a gorgeous little example of what nature creates. How can you resist (painting him, feeding him, naming him)?!

  10. Of all your meetings, dear Julie, this is the most relaxing!
    That special look  has the fox, while you're shooting!
    She knew that she would have been around the world in the blogosphere!?
    There is a beautiful light , while the world is gray out here!!!

  11. He is DEFINITELY a painting looking for a place to happen! And I think he has just found that place, camped in front of an artist's window such as yourself, Julie!! Portrait time!!!

  16. Animals, especially wild ones don't chose easily. They come when the feel safety and comfort. You, Julie must give that feeling. It sure comes across in your blog.

  17. Dear Julie - these photos are super - we have foxes here but they are usually nocturnal which surprises me he gets that close to the house and comes during the day. This is wonderful that you can see him that close up. Take care and have a wonderful week-end.

  20. This little guy looks very happy and must feel very safe near your window. Animals can sense and are attracted to kind people. They can feel your heart! Thanks for sharing...

  21. He (or she)is so beautiful. Probably trying to get warmed up. And I always wonder about them looking at themselves in a mirror or window. I wonder what they think?

  23. Very strange behaviour for a fox. I hate to be a downer but I would be worried that it might have rabies.
