Sunny Morning Foxes is what I call todays offering as this photo was taken in the bright morning light.I waited for these kits to emerge from their den and one by one they did and took in the sunlight.They all were as curious of me as I was of them.They didn't run or spook in the slightest as they are visited by many people with cameras and on lookers.This past Friday the group of them even made our local newspaper's front page and wisely the paper made no mention as to their exact whereabouts.The address for the newspaper is http://www.highrivertimes.com/ and the photo will be replaced on Tuesday. I hope you all like these young foxes who have had much of my spare time watching and learning about their nature.PP was done with Paint.Net.

Hello Bob,

Your contributions are better than keeping up with the latest 'soap opera'!

This is a delightful shot in the early morning sunshine! Each cub seems to be showng his own particular character - I'm alert! I'm ready to play! I'm a bit sleepy yet! I'm just not interested in all this fuss!
Lovely sharp and detailed images! Their coats' colour and texture is really evident.

How lovely that they have no fear and you are obviously showing great respect for them!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Bob,
The morning light really gave these youngsters a golden glow. The hairs still look like its there first and have this soft and fluffy texture to it. The different expressions on all four of them is amazing and shows the difference in character perfectly.
A superb capture.
TFS,
Niek

amazing family shot, TFS Ori

Hello Bob,
What a gorgeous little group of fox cubs in beautiful sunshine by their den. I love the wonderful colours of their coats, especially the two with black socks! Excellent composition too with three of them watching you sharply. Well done!

Wow you are so lucky to be able to get so close to a whole family of Foxes!!
And then your awesome skill enables you to produces some fabulous shots such as this one!
I love the expressions on their faces :-)
Very good clarity and sharpness.
Superb exposure.
You've got a very impressive portfolio and I'm sorry if it seems I haven't payed much attention to it so I will do so in the future :-)

Very, very well done, Bob!

Cheers,
Joe

p.s I reckon this shot is much better than the one on the front page of the paper! This photo is much more intimate than the published one!

Hi Bob,
Your Foxes pictures are wonderful - all of them - and this one in particular showing them with theirs eyes fool of curiosity, a sure sign of intelligence. Very lucky you to have them as models! Good note as usual.
P.S. I posted recently an albino C. Goose (did not have to much feedback). I'm interested in your (expert) opinion.
Your friend, Mario

Bob, your foxes amaze me, and if I could afford it, I'd be hopping on a plane to capture a few of the wildlife in your area...

I love this get together - the clan, lol. The lighting is superb, the composition excellent, the subject awesome, and the photo perfect. You've made my day - thank you so much.

What a outstanding composition Bob with these sweethearts tugging at my heart strings. Great use of the early morning lighting. Exposure and focus are spot on, fantastic job my friend.
Rick

Hi Bob,
Maybe you don't have Cardinals were you live but you have this precious and so cute family! Look at those faces, aren't they sweet? They are such beautiful creatures but I never see some here. I don't that we have some but I don't know where... Lightning, details and moment captured is excellent! Thanks,
Claudine
