Foxy
Posted By: Jimbo, 02-05-2009, 10:32 PM

Shot this fox today while I was in Edmonton. Spotted it on the road and was able to get only a couple before it took off. It walked right by my car as I was on the phone! Dropped the call and went for the camera. Wish it struck around a bit more so I could get a few more shots. most were just of him walking. Cheers JIM

Great captures Jim!! Just few days ago I saw two foxes, but NO CAMERA with ... (normally I nearly always have, but, but .... )

The first and third are my favs.
Thank Kurt. Cheers JIM

Nice shots. It is great when something like that comes up and you just happen to have the camera ready. I prefer the first myself.

Foxes down here are feral and a menace. Not protected and the less we have of them the better. They and feral cats are doing great harm to small Aussie mammals, wallabies, bandicoots, etc.
Shooting with a gun, rather than a camera is the preferred option.

Jim, this is - as others have said - a very compelling series. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I'm not sure why you're not making images of boats.

Super job, buddy.
