Unbelievable weather in our area...and I am thinking as well just about every place else on this planet earth.
Eighteen years ago yesterday, we had the most snowfall, ever on record, for our area.
Yesterday we had temperatures in the 60's with severe thunderstorms, tornado warnings, nine tornado touchdowns and by bed time, the temperature had dropped 30 degrees, with a bit of snow fluff blowing around on the ground...woosh!
Last Friday, I was standing at one of our patio doors, looking out at the bit of snow we had the evening before. I had been conversing by phone with one of my besties and that is when it happened...
"Maryann, I have to go, there is a Red Fox in the yard."
OK, for those who do not already know...my yard is 2 acres, and thus said, the Red Fox, while in my yard would better have been said to being on my property.
I grabbed up my camera and began taking a few images through the window...that was not working...too far away. I did not take the time to grab a coat, just slipped quietly out the front door and was hiding by one tree after the other, as I made my way closer. I had noticed while still inside that the Fox had grabbed a meal and it was thankfully busy, partaking of it, so I could move in a little closer and hope to get a better shot for an image. I was able to finally get 4 of very much the same images, and then the Fox turned and ran, and that was that..end of my only fourth Red Fox encounter in living here for 30 years~
