It is #FoxFriday and I have to say #TGIF too!
Somehow I haven’t shared this image of my local foxes, one which I like a lot.
Taken back in the middle of May, some kids playing ball near the den meant keeping a watchful eye. The little one was keen on imitating mom’s role as protector and struck a nearly identical pose.
The soft, golden light of the setting sun really made their coats shine.
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!
