The Year of the Fox

So why the year of the fox – well, these guys were always hanging around the back garden in my parent’s house in East Kilbride, a new town just south of Glasgow. When I was a kid, you didn’t see these guys from dusk to dawn. Now, they appear to be everywhere. The foxes are most noticeable during winter when I take my sister’s dog for a walk. You regularly spot them. Before he passed, my father frequently photographed them in his garden. I started seeing them every visit and finally remembered to take a longer lens with me. These images are shot through the living room window – and they are not bad, but a remotely controlled tripod is the next step during the spring in decent light – the results could be wow.
