The Lazy Fox (Photo Special)

By Paul Cecil | Published May 26, 2011

One post that doesn't really need a lot of explanation. He was in the garden early this evening, just relaxing. I'd only been in from work for a short while and still had the long lens on the camera. A fox sleeping in the garden is an opportunity not to be missed.

That's one very tired fox! :zzz:

    Crazy tired… I wish I could just lie down in sunny grass like him…

    Thank you, Words, for sharing such a wonderful set of photos… and for giving me something to smile to.

    Wojtek, I'm glad you enjoyed them. A fox in the sun makes me smile too. 🙂

    Adele, probably not. Hope you're getting over yours now.

    Unfortunately the fact that I'm still on Opera at midnight probably answers that question! :faint:

    😆 That fourth shot. He looks distinctly unimpressed with the disturbance to his nap.

    Mick, well if he wants privacy he shouldn't stop right outside our door!

    If foxes are anything like cats he regards it as you building your house too close to his bed. 😉

    Well I guess his family were probably here first, so you may have a point.
