"Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupèry, The Little Prince
Poppy was a surprisingly confident fox cub who lived in the neighbourhood in summer 2022. She would follow us around like a dog and would sneak into the house to eat cat food. She also tried to play with our cats but they were not amused.
We did not encourage this behaviour at all and tried to discourage her, but she kept coming back.
She was also affectionately known as "Popsy", "Popsy-Cola", "Popsy Fopsy" and "Pops".

Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) making its way down a snowy game trail in Montana near the Northeast entrance to Yellowstone National Park.
Weather cold and windy yesterday and everything stayed hidden! Today, unexpectedly the local fox appeared to sun itself in the corner of the field. Hopefully it will make use of the nearby den this spring.
First for me seeing a Red Fox making a sprint to the woods during the day. I was searching the trees for an owl at the time and my son noticed the fox was sprinting in front of us.

At CCBC Catonsville, there is a female fox who has been around for quite a while. My piano instructor has always claimed about encountering her every Saturday morning, but I have never been able to see her... at least, until this afternoon. As I walked up a hill after a futile afternoon of birding in the forest, the fox surprised me by sauntering up about ten feet away and simply laying down. Why there, you might ask? I looked down toward a clearing, and there were three kits roughhousing in the mud. That sure explains everything...
I was photographing a Canada Jay when suddenly it flew behind me, prompting me to turn around. And guess who was there? That’s right—a red fox! It sat quietly behind me, then stood up, gave a big stretch, and gracefully walked away.

We’ve had red foxes in our neighborhood for many years, but have never had them really nearby during their denning season. This year has been different. Although I still don’t know where their primary den was located, for a few days in late April, they had their family of four pups under our neighbor’s utility shed. This shot was taken during that time period. Although I had hoped to get some really awesome shots of the pups and their parents, I’ve only gotten what I feel are “ok” photos. Perhaps my expectations are too high, and unfortunately, I haven’t had the patience to work on better results. Although they seem relatively tolerant of people at a somewhat close range, that usually happens when I don’t have my camera. Anyway, here’s a shot of a parent bringing lunch to the pups on a snowy day in late April. I will be posting a few other shots of the foxes in the days ahead.
We are treating this youngster for mange. We expect a full recovery. When you love what you do....you feel the love back ten-fold.
Went out this evening for my Fox-fix again, and having had a gander for a different perspective in the meadow of where to set-up for the evening, I was torn between two different places.
Anyway, I could only be at one so decided to try my second choice. I spotted my first Fox, but it was other side of meadow, too far for a shot. Then nearby to the Fox, a Buck Muntjac made an appearance. Now, if only I had gone with my first instinct I would have nabbed both...dammit.
Then a tad later I spotted same or another Fox in front of me, but as the meadow is now long grass, there was too much in the way for a decent shot.
Then, about 40 feet slightly to the right, another Fox was spotted, but again, due to the long grass, I only saw the top of its back and its ears...double dammit again.
Ideally, I want to be laying on my belly with camera as close to floor as possible so I am at eye-view with the Fox, but the long grass dictates that this is no way an option for me...…...
Then, out of the long grass, about 25-30 foot in front of me, another Fox appears, then sits down, looking mainly to my left. I dare not move, or breathe, it was so close. Very slowly, I raised my hand to camera, switched the A/F off, and very slowly moved the lens in his direction. He did look at me, but I was full-on Ghillie Suited-up, which obviously helped lots.
Then he carried on looking to my left, so I started slowly to manual focus on his eyes, praying that I would not spook him. I didn't, and very carefully I took a test shot. Then another, and another.....
He could obviously hear my shutter going, even though I had subdued its noise, as he looked at me again but was not spooked.
Then the magic happened...he suddenly turned around behind him and ears went back, and then I heard about 3-5 very quiet wimpers, and as I looked, I saw another Fox running up to him to greet him, wow, that was amazing, and the frequency of the wimper was so low, that if I was a little further away, I would not have heard it, but wow, that was worth it for me, behaviour is my strongpoint, and that small an brief encounter was amazing to witness so close.
I know there is two strands of grass in front of his/her face, But I don't care because I was desperate to capture the eyes. I love Foxes eyes, they are so beautiful and emotive, and definitely the gateway to the soul...they mesmerise me. Or maybe I just posses and Eye fetish and do not realise it yet? :-)
Excuse the image, was quite dark and had to shoot it at 3200 ISO
A red fox eyeing me as I walk along a wooded trail with a very small dog on a leash. It seems foxes are curious about dogs and will often remain in place to observe them.
Lucky to get a nice slice of light on this. Fuji Provia 100 pushed to 200.
