Well here are a few that amazed me. One of the red fox on my 2nd level deck was shocking because he was foraging bird seed (who knew)?? The picture was taken from inside the glass patio door. My 8 lb Maltipoo (uses the deck all the time) will now have bodyguards watching over him just in case!!

As for the bunny, it was smack in front of my door on my lawn in the early hours. Providence luckily had my house between the cunning predator and the juicy prey!

Absolutely wonderful pictures! I like the last picture the most. Never had a luck to catch mating backyard visitors.

All very nice - exactly what I would expect from you.

You're a good one to allow the KP to show what it can do.
