You probably know we live in the woods and have a lot of critters running around. I’ve posted pics of deer, wild turkeys, and squirrels before.
But I’ve never posted any fox pictures, because they’re mainly nocturnal and very shy and elusive. That’s why I was so excited to spot Fuzzy this week curled up and napping in our back yard. He’s quite handsome, with thick red fur and black ears. It’s taken me almost 10 years to get a fox photo.
This one is for Jules, who asked if I had any Fuzzy pictures. This one’s quite fuzzy :)!
And to everyone in snow country, as you can see, no snow or ice on the ground for us in Virginia, yet. Hope the clear weather holds out for Inauguration Day. Stay warm!!

Would be nice if Fuzzy brought us some luck — starting with, warmer temps :).

Our neighbor has some cats which like to terrorize the foxes. It’s always interesting to see who’s where on the power hierarchy. I’d like to see the raccoon, possum, cats, and foxes in a throwdown.

Fuzzy likes being adorable. His four feet pitter patter. I think he likes gnomes.

Woah, Fuzzy is a cutie, but I think I’d be scared of having him in my backyard.
We don’t have any snow in southwestern Indiana either, but when I visited my parents for Christmas in Wisconsin, they had about 30″. Crazy fun snow to play in.

Oh, very nice! Our foxes tend to run too fast for any pix, but I’ve seen them crossing the street before (and darting from under our deck).

Anytime!

Fuzzy would be more afraid of you than you are of him. Of course, he’d like you better if you painted his picture!

Yes, they do like to run fast in their trotting sort of way. Now I’m determined to get a standing up picture of both the foxes.

So cute, a great close-up! I’ve spotted one at a distance, in the meadow/woods behind our house — haven’t seen one close-up before. Your patience was rewarded! ~ Lois B

My husband just said last night that the tracks in the little bit of snow we just got could be fox tracks. Maybe we have Fuzzy’s cousin here. If I see him, I’ll paint him.
