Photos takemn in the late evening, mostly in the shade.
Mama fox had a litter of 7, but only managed to get 2 in any given frame. Little ones are full of energy. They are starting to turn colors and looking more like Mom ever day. Thank goodness not to many people have seen this Den!

Hi Eric,

I'm glad they all seem to be making it. I guess the mountain lions and eagles didn't manage to grab one this time! Tough raising up kids in a bad neighborhood. Thanks for bring us these updates. The first picture is my favorite.

Lovely shots Eric. Exquisite creatures.

Sadly, where I live ( Australia) the fox is an introduced species which is therefore feral and being the brilliant survivor that it is and competing in a highly complex and very fragile set of ecosystems as it does here it is a major threat to our own unique and exquisite wildlife.
As a species it is probably single handedly responsible for several extinctions here and as such we tend to view the animal through very biased specs. We see a fox and see it as a mudering bastard of our delicate species whose apex predator is usually a raptor, not an egg stealing, marauding noxious pest.

So having said all that, seeing your lovely images of a creature in its natural environment was wonderfully refreshing, a chance to celebrate its beauty, not curse the ridiculous stupidity of the blithering tossers who brought it here for their own nefarious reasons.

Well done.
I Like no. 2

These are gorgeous. I especially like the first one. I might crop it a tad tighter to eliminate the trunk on the left, or perhaps clone it out, and tweak levels a bit, but this is a wonderful image.

Hi Eric,

I understand the feeling. On the one hand one likes to share the excitement, on the other hand one needs to protect the serenity of the scene.

BTW, you seem to have a bit of a systematic front focus issue on these posted images. Make sure you get that sorted out before shooting some more images ..., and WE do WANT MORE!
