TL .. you might know this line: A cat on a hot tin roof..
Well thats what you are , being a Fox and Wolves around.

Today , no wolves, before you all get bored with me and my wolves and suspect I became a 'werewolf'

In the 'Wolve Park' there are many many other species to see ..and today :
Reynard the Fox, also known as Renard, , Reinard, Reynaerde and by many other spelling variations, is a trickster figure whose tale is told in a number of anthropomorphic tales from medieval Europe.

By chance we noticed this little clever (and beautiful ) Devil .. since the wind was in the right angle , not to him . As soon he noticed us, he went off, but there was enogh time to make a few clicks.

Always on alert, since Wolves and Coyotes -Lynx's etc would not hesitate to consume them.

I was told in the Park by the instructer that they have there own size dens.. small , to narrow
for a wolf. Also, they hide and burry their pray / food .. to dig it up the same day or later and hide it else where .
It came to my knowledge that in Europe Foxes often were responsible to carry the
'rabies/canine hysteria' over to wolves and dogs ...

Anyway, the Fox is a beauty on its own , and a very interesting subject for studies and photo shoots
(if you see them )
I was told if you put some salt on the tail they slow down
{-_+}

So TL I hope you accept my 'Reynard the Fox' among my Wolf series

Here some technical :
ISO 1000
White balance again on warm
It was in shadow, so the shutter speed 1/600

Thanks and regards
Vandana

Hello Vandana,
Beautifull fox. I think I never saw one so clear and beautifull.
Fantstic capture. TFS.
jmb

what is striking in a fox.. are its eyes.. they are similar to cat eyes.. quiet diabolic.. its sight (eyes to eyes) is really impressive!! i have seen so much foxes in the Regional Park here, near Grosseto.. it's a strange thing for me cause i'm a citizen.. born and lived in Rome.. however they are different.. from this, you have captured.. they are short-coated.. and more red!!.. your capture is beautiful.. expression and colours are really wonderful!! many thanks Vandana!!
ciao Marco

Excellent shot! My limited votes are gone out, but my praises to the worthy images will never cease.

Hi Vandana,
This fox is so lovely, you have captured him/her in your unique way, fantastic colours and background.
I wish I was able to get as close to the foxes I have living the woods behind me, I see them quite often running across the road but just not when I have a camera to hand.

hello Vandana
kaisi hain aap?
ek bahut hi khoobsurat shot
rich in colour
what disturbe me in this shot is croping, the background at the upper left is distracting and the face of the fox is at the edge of the right corner.

rest is wonderful

i'll be back with a smiley, aaj khatam ho gaye hain,

Hi Vandana - This is a nice fox portrait, so to speak. What I like about it is that one can see the little fox's angular face front on and its bushy tail at the same time. Well done again. Thank you, also for another interesting, well-to-read note! - Have a good weekend! Cordelia :))

Hi Vandana,

He is indeed beautiful, Vandana. We once rescued a kit whose mother had been killed on the high way. We had him for about 8 months before he was ready to retune to the wild. We found much his behavior very cat like. This specimen looks to be in beautiful health and you have captured the feral look perfectly. What a wonderful place you were at.
Warm Regards
Wanda

Hello Vandana

I also like a lot foxes.
I find them beautiful with your fine snout and your suspicious glance.
The coat of your body here is wonderful in these colors.!
great sharpness and details
Congratulations for the beautiful look of skins!

Hi Vandana
What a beautiful animal you share with us. His pelt is a beautiful golden around his head. you're very lucky to catch him. Congratulations

Hi Vandana,

Very nice one! Difficult to approach the foxes there?
At my parents place, there are foxes around. Wild ones. And those are very difficult to get a photograph of! You really need to lay there in the woods for hours before they give you a chance for a photograph.
Nice one.

Greetings, Dennis

Hi Vandana, splendid fox with beautiful colors and excellent sharpness, very well done, have a good week end, ciao Silvio

hello Vandana

While others need 400mm FL to shoot, you need only 200mm for up close photos. How's that? You probably have a way with wild animals! This foxy one looks tame for your capture, on digital or physical.

Nice sharpness and color tone.

Hi Vandana,

Yet another superb capture! Great pose again, excellent detail and colour, optimal POV.

I sometimes get visits from urban "Reynards" in my back garden. Unfortunately, it's nearly always at night and I'm never quick enough to get my camera. I don't mind though, it's fun enough just to catch sight of one at close quarters as it turns round to give a bold, foxy stare for a moment, before strolling off into cover. Very interesting animals!
Congratulations!
Bill

A nice break from the wolves, I see... Excellent colour saturation here, my friend... and sublime sharpness. I love foxes, and this is a very nice looking one. I think I'd crop a bit off of the top, as I find the left top part a bit distracting, Vandana.
Anyway, TFS.

i like these series of wildlife Vandana. superb details on the fur.

Bonjour ma chère Vandana,
here a beautiful POV, of one of my preferred animals. I love the foxes, I find them splendid with their russet-red fur. They are very intelligent, one can even say "artful", apprehensive, being wary, fortunately in France, one don't any shot since they are not carrying any more the rabies.
Bisous, amitiés
Corinne

Hello Vandana!

Nice shot, very well processed! TFS.
Imho, it would be better if you have shoot on fox's level.

Beautiful Vandana. Excellent sharpness, with fantastic colors.

Nice red bushy fur captured. Good that you were ready to click. I might have tried cropping out the distracting top left stuff so as to keep more focus on the center of attention. Good nature shot. TFS. K2
