Our Fox (and sometimes family) has been visiting us in our yard now at different times, on and off , for about 4-5 years.  We are always excited to see them.  We usually get 2-3 opportunities a year around Jan-Feb when we see them.  I'm sure they're around much more often, but only once in a while do we have the fortune of seeing them.

The first two photos aren't that technically great but I included them to tell the story.

We first saw the fox walk by on the other side of the house while in our office study.  He went around the back of the house and we ran to the other window to see him go back behind the shed.  I grabbed my camera and hoped that he would come out again along the fence in the front of the shed which he did!



Now it got interesting because there was a cat sunning herself on the shed step.  They watched each other pretty intently, but both held their ground and let the other be.  Check out the hair standing up on the fox's back.



Then the fox found a nice sunny spot in the yard and proceeded to take a short break and sun himself.









After getting some photos here, we tapped on the window quietly to arouse his attention and he was ready for whatever the situation might be ...
