'Stare Down'

'Stare Down'

 

The fox stares her amber glare,

Over a vulpine grin,

Wary ears twitching for sound.

Lavish fur

Scorns winter’s worst and

Proclaims prowess over prey.

Nose aquiver with the tang

Of the next mouse.

She sits briefly then

Fast feet fly,

White tipped tail flashes

The vixen!

Delicate paw prints,

Mark her interlude

In the undergrowth.

*****************************************

My back yard ... she has become a regular visitor. I have a composition and pose in mind but she is frustratingly uncooperative ... her modelling career is in jeopardy if she doesn't follow the photographer's directions more enthusiastically. :)

 

It was early morning and not a lot of light to work with, hence, the high ISO and the 'noise' that goes along with it.
