STOP, IAN, STOP!!!!! by sangwann

STOP, IAN, STOP!!!!!

Shot taken on day 6 of our Black Forest vacation – 1st July 2015
“Stop, Ian, stop.” I shouted to my son-in-law as we were driving (he was) through a country road on the way to the village of St. Blasien . “There’s a fox out there!”
Christine, Denise and Ian: “Stop dreaming, stupid.”
Me: “I said ‘STOP’ there’s a fox out there!”
Ian: “Yes, I see it, now.”
We were very lucky there was a lay-by close by. Both Ian and I ran out of the car, camera in hand and we took as many shots as we could of this fox that was just outside a clump of trees some 150 metres away. The fox sat there looking at us, walked a few steps away and sat down again and continued to watch us until we decided we had had enough.
Joke: The devout farmer lost his favorite Bible while he was mending fences out on his fields.
Three weeks later, a fox walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth.
The farmer couldn't believe his eyes.
He took the precious book out of the fox’s mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, "It's a miracle!"
"Not really," said the fox. "Your name is written inside the cover."
Thank you very much for looking and for your lovely comments, the fav's and for putting my shot of yesterday on tp and pp.
Great capture -- perfect to show in a collage.

Do you think this fox speaks German? Or maybe thinks in German? I would imagine that this isn't common but I don't know! Good to see your pictures!

Super captures, he looks as though he asked, 'Is this my best side'! Fav. We get them here, sometimes one sleeps in the garden in the winter. Like the joke too. @maggiemae In Germany,being a German fox (Fuchs) why wouldn't he speak German? :)
