Red Fox at her den, March,31/10

l just spent 3 days at my friend Ann's in Toronto. We covered a lot of miles in the greater Toronto and surrounding areas. We saw some wonderful things. This little fox was busy at her den,not sure wether she has little fox kits yet or not. But it sure appeared as if she did. With the beautiful weather and the warmth of the sun. We just sat at a distance and watched her going in & out of a couple of the den entrances. Then she disappeared for what we figured was a nice afternoon nap and after half hour or so we disappeared and moved on to the next wonderful adventure. This was the second fox we had the pleasure of photographing in 2 days. Beautiful.

Short Eared Owl on ground,March,7/10

While watching these owls a couple of them landed out in the field.

Trees n birds.

These trees as you can see have quite a lot of character. l stood there and looked them over a few times realizing the things l could pick up in each one. These trees are all very old and very artistic. And each play a valuable part in the survival of animal habitat and our fresh air. They are incredible. Not only do l see a lot of character in each one ,but l also have seen some beautiful animals and birds in them as well. Including my most recent young raccoon shots. This was a good day of shooting.
