It was such a special experience to spend an hour with these red fox kits last weekend. There was quite a bit of heat haze/distortion, but I came away with a few decently-sharp photos despite that. The fox kits stayed in their dens until the sun came out! I can't say that I blame them, I usually stay inside if the weather's bad too!
Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock
The houses are haunted
By white night-gowns.
None are green,
Or purple with green rings,
Or green with yellow rings,
Or yellow with blue rings.
None of them are strange,
With socks of lace
And beaded ceintures.
People are not going
To dream of baboons and periwinkles.
Only, here and there, an old sailor,
Drunk and asleep in his boots,
Catches tigers
In red weather.
(wallace stevens)
(again)

My love for Autumn continues!

Red is considered an auspicious colour in a number of cultures: in Italy it's customary to present a loved one with a small, red gift on New Year's Eve; in China it's considered to bring good luck and is associated with celebration; in India it symbolises purity and is worn by brides in many Asian cultures. So here is a toast to your good health and good fortune in 2014 - a little early, I know, but I'm going to be pretty busy until January 1st/2nd so I thought I'd get ahead of the game!
Macro Mondays, Redux - Glass: re-visiting a shot-through-glass I attempted earlier in the year that just refused to work. Happier with this result, although there's still room for improvement. HMM & Happy New Year!

ODC, Glass (shooting through/into a glass) - I tried this earlier in the year and it didn't work at all. This is much better but there's still room for improvement, however, it seems apt for this time of year.
Thank you in advance for any comments and/or favourites and apologies for the lack of reciprocation on my part. I'll catch up as soon as I can.
Our red shouldered hawks are back for a third year. They've been working on the nest and taking care or our yard rodent population. We're really looking forward to all the noise that comes with these beautiful raptors. Here's hoping they have another successful season of pro-creation. :-)
Red Fox in the last light of a summer day image was shot at after 8pm. The golden light framed him well although he does lack a touch of detail due to shooting at 3.5. Image was shot in Cavendish Prince Edward Island.
These impossibly elegant high heeled red shoes belonged to my mum, and I think illustrate this week's challenge theme.
The Red Shoes is one of many wonderful stories written by Hans Christian Anderson - with almost as gruesome an ending of some of the tales collected by the brothers Grimm.
Happy Smile on Saturday!
