Default Look what I found on the golf course

I Played 9 holes of golf late today. I have seen this family the last 3 times I played so today golf was my secondary mission Getting this family was my primary We did not see them during the round so after we rode around and were lucky enough to find them There is a mother and 3 cubs and she put up with me for a while but then I guess I got a bit too close and without any fear except mine she came trotting right at me. I finally convinced her I was larger than her when she was about 10 ft from me. Thank for your efforts Vin This ones for you.

I see you

Mother and cubs

This is my territory

Great Captures Ty!! I used to play on a course in Mesa Az. There was a family of the Red Fox's living there as well. I remember one day on the 2nd hole, I was getting ready to hit my tee shot, when I noticed a rabit running in front of the tee box; Right behind it were two Fox's. They also had young as well. Neat to see them in nature.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.

WoW Ty ! what an amazing set ! first off they are adorable ! and thier color is awesome, they are such a great subject to capture and you really got some great poses of them !

I also really like the fact that you've seen them, filed the info away for later, and then found a way to be there and shoot them ... that's a huge part of nature shots, you have to be there.. and the subjects aren't always cooperative, you were so close and have them looking at you !! really awesome composure/framing !!

Thank you for the mention, it's great to hear someone was thinking of my stuff and it got them out there and give it a shot or two .. I would say honestly you far exceeded my collection of exotic species with flippin RED FOX ! I think my best furry critter is a squrriel lol ... they are all great, but the 4th shot is an excellent species shot for the portfiolio,

Hope you had fun playing golf, glad it didn't rain !!

thanks very much for showing them

Great job on getting this family, and the last photo she sure was letting you know you were too close.

The fox looks so fierce in the last photo. How brave of you hehe. How I wish we also have that kind of wildlife roaming here in the cities.

I've always wanted to see foxes in the wild. We have them here but they are far too skittish to see very often. The pups are just too cute. I know women who spend a lot of money trying to their hair this color. In contrast with the green, the color is so rich. And their expressions are such a mix of "You look really scary" to "No, you look really interesting." With mom, however, there is no mistake. She's not playing golf, she's not shouting "fore", she's "Tallyho" all the way!
