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.

It had been light for about an hour when I spotted the fox.

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.

They are beautiful to see, but we don’t like them in our neighborhood because they steal chickens.
