The Peaceful Fox

We've had foxes in our garden for as long as I can remember. This one was hiding underneath some bushes so I almost missed him/her. Sometimes they're a bit of a nuisance but for the main - they're fine. They sometimes use the bucket on the garden porch (that always seems to be full of rain water) to quench their thirst. This one's fur was a bit flea bitten (poor thing) so I retouched it somewhat.

It looks like I used the flash but the sun was out already casting these shadows in the early morning.
Amazing, that they come so close. We have them here too but they are very stealthy

@desraemelville I wouldn't say tame. At all. They just scarper when you come close. I think we've encrouched so much on their natural habitat that they've found that they have to live in the city just to survive. It's a shame really as the ones in my garden are never healthy looking. Fur is always bitten and scabby like they have fleas and their tails are never bushy.

@browngirl oh so very sad isn't it how it seems to be happening all over the world, more and more houses and less and less place for the animals...
