This fuzzy little bundle of baby fox was curious about me. I was very fortunate that he was and I got a couple shots before they vanished. Mom's tail was wagging by his face. :)
There were four fox kits playing outside the den...these two were too tired to continue...Kawartha Lakes, Ontario, Canada
Being near wildlife over an extended period of time builds a trust between the subject and the photographer. After visiting an Arctic Fox den for a few weeks, the kits became accustomed to the clicking of the photographer's camera. In this photo, this kit was sleeping while the photographer sat about 10 feet away. When he awoke, he simply looked at the camera a few moments, stretched and walked off into his den.
I grabbed the camera just as this little guy started looking over at my apartment. Pictured through a fly screen window, I think I got its undivided attention.
He / she is such a cute little kitten. Pity about the fly screen, but what can you do.
Just as I decided that pappa had disappeared ( the mangy one) , Momma fox had moved her 5 kits into a woodchuck hole/ den about 80 yards from my house. Something I have been hoping would happen for the last few years. She is gone all day and night, feeding herself and her kids.They are so stinking cute.
I had created a completely different image for this week's theme (which I've also posted), but when I looked at the 2 next to each other, this one made me smile more. :)
The kitten is a very kitsch plastic brooch from the 1960s. The pink flower came from a plant on my kitchen window sill. No idea what type it is, but it created a nice contrast. :)
For this week's Smile on Saturday group theme, Open Day Theme.
Ardnamurchan never disappoints...
I'm just back from a two week trip to the peninsula on the west coast of Scotland. Lots of walking, exploring, a little bit of wild swimming and plenty of time with my favourites; the Pine Marten.
The jumping shot is an image I've had in my mind's eye for some time. I tried it last year and had some luck, but knew I could do better. I'm really chuffed with this image plus quite a few others over a few evenings trying it!
Christopher Houston Carson (December 24, 1809 – May 23, 1868) was an American frontiersman. He was a fur trapper, wilderness guide, Indian agent and U.S. Army officer. He became a frontier legend in his own lifetime through biographies and news articles; exaggerated versions of his exploits were the subject of dime novels. His understated nature belied confirmed reports of his fearlessness, combat skills, tenacity, as well as profound effect on the westward expansion of the United States. Although he was famous for much of his life, historians in later years have written that Kit Carson did not like, want, or even fully understand the fame that he experienced during his life
When I worked in the Arctic region of Alaska, I would use my offtime to photograph the wildlife. I found an Arctic Fox den and spent some time with the fox kits. There was a small building, about the size of an outhouse, that provided shade for the fox kits. After visiting the kits many times, they became accustomed to my presence. Laying down in the dirt, I took many photos of the kits at ground level. The orange background is the bright summer sun behind the kit. The kit was napping and woke up and stretched, this photo being part of the stretch.
I no longer work in the Arctic. When I did work there, I would leave home for two to three weeks at a time. The only thing I miss about working in the Arctic is the wildlife. I got to photograph the Arctic Fox, Red Fox, Polar Bears, Grizzly Bears, Musk Ox, Caribou, Lynx, Ring Seals, and many birds from ducks and geese to Peregrine Falcons and Bald Eagles.
I am hoping to vacation there sometime in the near future, this time, with my wife by my side.
These two Red Fox Kits are trying to identity the photography hiding in a chair blind taking their picture. Fox kits are so much fun to watch and photograph.
A new location for the kits today, and thankfully I got in a few nice moments before I was spotted hiding in the tall grass. This adorable kit had just finished giving themselves a good old scratch.
These two fox pups/kits were exploring the construction site adjoining their den, soon playing and jumping in and out of the wooden box.
Thank you for viewing
For 122 Pictures in 2022 #98 "Spinning", this is a couple of RV-4 kit airplanes (with spinning propellers) flying over Resoft County Park, which is near the Alvin, Texas airport.
During my time off this holiday season, I rearranged and organized my studio. I have been wanting to have a corner designated for floral photography and now I finally do.
I was inspired by an exhibition of Mapplethorpe's photography when I lived in Southern California a few years ago.
He has a very distinctive style. I am using it as my baseline inspiration and look forward to seeing where it leads me this year.
Anyone have any recommendations for simple, basic photography background kits?
The wall ain't cutting it! LOL
HSS!
Finding a fox den is probably one of the best photo oppurtunities for cute photos. The kits are naturally curious and are full of ambition. After visiting the den regularly, the kits will become comfortable with a humans presence.
This was taken on the tundra of Alaska's northern Arctic region. There were eight kits in this den and they were a hoot to photograph. This kit had just woke up from a nap and was sitting watching its siblings at play. I love its long tail, pointy nose and beautiful orange fur.
I no longer travel to the Arctic, did so for work, and I truly miss the wildlife of the North. In my ten years there, I was privileged to see both Red Fox and Arctic Fox, Wolves, Grizzly and Polar Bears, Musk Oxen, Caribou, and many different species of ducks, geese, raptors, owls and swans. The Arctic truly is a very special place for wildlife.
