The day started out in the fields near work. I'd gone in search of deer, but they were being evasive. I started to take a few landscapes of the early morning light when, deep in the valley, I saw a… Well without the benefit of the lens I would barely have seen anything at all. <\/p>\n

Small, distant and tucked away in the shadows, it was nonetheless unmistakeably a fox. I edged a little closer and if you were doubtful from that first image, this should confirm things. Like Stumpy, the garden fox, this one also seems to have a somewhat truncated brush ::right: <\/p>\n
