    I simply can't decide which photo I love best....all of them are well taken.

    Oh, a fox! We have foxes here, but the only one I've seen was at the airport, keeping in check the rabbits between the runways.
    Pretty cherries - are they edible ones?

    Yes...the fox shot is a rarity! My two "wish for" shots are for a fox and a bald eagle. Well, of course, also a flying saucer and a sasqwatch...but I'd be happy with a fox. I'm envious.

    I really like your second shot...it's so soft and the color reminds me of lavender for some "me" kind of reason that I don't know the answer to :)

    Great shots - all of them. You have a photo of a fox!? They are too quick for me.

    I like them all but the red Fox is my favorite. I know how hard it is to take pictures of insects, they never stay still for long and these are very good.

    Great shots. I really like the dragonfly a lot. It's a perfect picture and the fox is pretty darn cool too. Love them all.

    Beautiful delicate butterfly photo; is it on a thistle? And of course that fox is SO special and hard-to-come-by, how lucky!

    We have a little fox that roams our neighborhood, but he's a little on the gross and mangey-looking side...not cute like the one that you got :) I love the colors in the picture of the cherries - so bright and cheerful!

    The cherries aren't edible ones - at least, I don't think so.
    The fox was a truly wild one - so many of the urban foxes do look scrawny by comparison.
    The butterfly is on Sea Holly which isn't related to the thistle.

    All wonderful shots, and I see we have several of the same winged creatures in the dragon fly and butter fly. Love the softness of the butterfly and the fox foto....spectacular shot.

    Lovbe the clarity and delicacy of the butterfly shot. But the fox is my favourite. To my mind, there's something very English about a fox. Maybe it's a memory from childhood of my Aussie grandmother telling us at bedtime not to be disturbed if we heard a fox down by the creek in the early hours of the morning, he's just another animal we could thank the English for bringing to our country. (She wasn't quite so kind when one got into her hen-house and killed her chooks!)
