Fox Dreamworld… (photo sequence)

By Paul Cecil | Published July 8, 2011

I was out in the fields at lunchtime today, near where I've seen foxes playing in the distance. I'd wandered along one of the paths when through the thick hedgerow I saw some movement. Just the other side, a few feet from me, a young fox. I had no clear line of sight, but could see enough to aim a camera and focus manually through all the leafy obstructions. These are the results… a dreamlike encounter with a young fox.

    Anon, thanks! Not the 'best' photos I've taken, but I liked the effect shooting through undergrowth gives the shots.

    Adele, thanks. I was trying to make the best of rubbish conditions there, though given today's whether they were nigh on perfect in comparison.
