Stalagmites

On our walk the other morning during our arctic blast, I noticed these weird ice "growths" in one of the tunnels that lets rain run-off channel into our neighborhood lake. Always on the look-out for new photo-ops, I thought these qualified! Another cell phone pic so not the greatest but better than nothing! The weather has since warmed up so they are probably melted away.

Also seen on a walk recently, and posted on FaceBook, was this cute little fox. I took a couple steps closer so I could steady the camera on a tree and off he went, taking no chances that I was a threat.

Foxy Lady! ......But NCC*

I've been trying to make a point of always taking my camera on the dog walks. It seems every time I get lazy and don't, something picture worthy happens. Yesterday, I took it and had the long lens on!

Here's what I caught.....

Here's the little vixen watching the boys make asses of themselves, pulling and yelping to get at her.

One last look to be sure they are still leashed.....

Jimmy Says....

And Stay Out!

We encountered a red fox on our afternoon walk. I think there is a breeding pair living very close to my house as I see two of them together often. Jimmy made sure to run this one off. I was very glad the leash was on! Not a great photo because in my haste to snap the shot, I flipped the camera setting into Macro! Not exactly what I needed for this shot. Alas, my vision ain't what it used to be.....

Have a great weekend, everyone!
