In fact the last time I saw one was at the Oregon Coast running up the middle of the highway which we thought was very strange. My sister used to have a family of fox living behind her house so I got to see some cute babies one year. But development took over so the field behind their house is now filled with houses.Eggheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12929947510816062200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-84029245070940047752008-07-04T13:12:00.000-04:002008-07-04T13:12:00.000-04:00"You got chickens" he! he!

Beautiful post an...Top 'o the morning to you, Kate! Beautiful post and amazing photos! I am constantly amazed by nature. About a year ago, Doughboy and I were a mile from home when we saw a fox and her two kits emerge from a drainage culvert. She had apparently made a den in the culvert, which is OK by Georgia standards since we're in a drought. And there I was without my camera! They were sitting along the road side watching cars zip by and all I could think about was road kill. I begged Doughboy to stop. I figured that I could walk toward them and force them to return to the security of their den. Either that or the mom would charge at me. Anyway, my idea worked and the mom and her kits quickly scampered into their den. They were so graceful and lovely!<BR/><BR/>Being in a new subdivision, I open my back door in the early morning and see deer grazing in the field next to us. I wonder how long they'll stick around until new homes and people crowd them out. Thanks much for the stories, Kate!!Debra (a/k/a Doris, Mimi)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12703142765614822707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-86063090281299857192008-07-02T08:18:00.000-04:002008-07-02T08:18:00.000-04:00...Hello Kate!

It reminded me of this t-shirt I saw that had an outline of the state of Idaho on it along with the word "Idaho", then below it said, "No, U-da-ho"...lol... ;o)<BR/><BR/>...Love the fox photos and stories! Foxes are such a beautiful animal... I feel the same way you do when I'm in the presence of such a creature. I once had an owl fly ahead of me in the light of my headlights while driving on my way to work early one morning. It was the most awesome thing I'd had ever seen! It was just within 10 ft. of the hood of my car and it was as if it was enjoying being in the light for a brief time... <BR/><BR/>...Thanks for the pretty photos and the stories! You rock!<BR/><BR/>...Btw, I love the header and did you do something different with your blog? Different colors or somethin'? Anyway, love it!<BR/><BR/>...Blessings to ya girl... :o)tjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15595340637449976534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-13971540660387922772008-07-02T07:44:00.000-04:002008-07-02T07:44:00.000-04:00That is an amazing story.
