The Fox and the Dogs

"The Fox and the Dogs"

It was a temperate day for early March, so the dogs and I headed out back to collect firewood. As usual the dogs ran along exploring, disappearing into the undergrowth whenever a new scent was discovered.

When Jordan came bursting out of the brush, I initially thought the flash of brown was a rabbit he had caught. I was stunned to see him holding this fox by the back, shaking it back and forth savagely, his intent to kill it obvious. As I commanded him to let it go, I reached for my camera.

Here, Caleb seeks to make friends with the fox as Jordan keeps it from retreating. After his encounter with Jordan, it is clear that the fox wants no part of them. The moment captured, the dogs are told to stand down. The fox heads into the woods and the dogs are off on their next adventure.

Although taken last Spring after a late snow storm caught many returning migrating birds off guard, I was prompted to use this image for January after sighting a robin who has appearently, this year, never left. We've only had a few days of milder weather recently, and there he's been - teasing me as if Spring were right around the corner. Wishful thinking. On both our parts.
