22 July 2012: There is a family of foxes living in a wooded area of our backyard. Once in a while they run across our lawn. In this photo, on a beautiful spring day, they came out and romped around for about five minutes. I had to hurry to grab my camera and was able to take half a dozen shots. This one turned out to be the best.
11 March 2014: Almost two years later, we still see the foxes once in a while, or signs that they are still around. The number of rabbits has decreased dramatically, a boon to our vegetable garden which used to be a buffet restaurant for the rabbits. If only the foxes could chase away the crows which have decimated our Asian pear trees to the point that we can barely get half a dozen pears out of thousands.
How wonderful to see these beautiful animals!

It was indeed a beautiful family! I think there were two parents and four cubs, but the parents stayed mostly in the woods.

I don’t know how you captured it, they run pretty fast, don’t they?
Fabulous shot!

They are fast. However, on that day they played together in our backyard for about 15 minutes, paying no attention to us.

Great shot of a playful fox family!
Are they considered pests where you are?

Some people do consider them as pests, but we don’t. I enjoy seeing them darting in and out of the woods in our backyard. It’s not easy to photograph them since they are quite fast, and not as playful as those in the above photo.
