How I wished for neighbor Joyce, my local nature interpreter! She would love to have seen the fox I spotted on my morning walk. It appeared on the road above the small RV park and ran up the steep hill, white-tipped tail flowing behind. My hand did not move toward the cell phone, because I knew I’d miss the action if I tried to catch it. What a beautiful sight! It’s marvelous to see a healthy animal in its element, moving with a fluid grace.
I did consult my Washington state naturalist about prints beside the road. I thought they were made by a horse wearing horseshoes. He said I was right. Although I see horses in the pasture behind my house, they are never ridden here.

How wonderful. We had a family of foxes living in the abandoned lemon grove across the street from us. I loved to watch the little ones play with each other.

How fun to see a fox on your walk. I hear them hear, at night, but I have not seen one.

Such a lovely area to walk and live with animals around to watch. Glad you didn’t miss the moment reaching for your phone camera.
