The dreary summer weather continued today… grey skies and drizzle, barely letting up until the latter part of the afternoon. Not a day for going anywhere; but as it happens I didn't need to. The fox came to me.
As the drizzle began to relent, a familiar face appeared in the garden. Shutterbug. He looked half asleep. Mid-afternoon seems to be a semi-regular time for him, so I can only assume he has a den (or some other suitably undisturbed retreat) nearby. Our garden is on the early part of his fox's day, as he heads off in search of whatever it is foxes search for in the afternoon.
And then he was gone, out over the garage roof and into the gardens beyond.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100mm f/2.8L macro IS USM lens.

24 Aug 2011Sami, even with 100mm he was too close a lot of the time. I really need around 50mm in the garden, but it depends what lens I have on the camera at the time.

24 Aug 2011Darko, he was a bit more awake to night, but then he came by quite a bit later today.

26 Aug 2011He's a lovely rich colour. I'm seeing a lot of foxes from the train during my return commute at the moment. They're generally dozing though.

27 Aug 2011Adele, he's doing well after a rather scrawny early part of the year. You can't have many more commuting days left now. 😀
