Your R System Images - May 2024

Red Fox, Yellowstone NP, USA. Sadly these foxes are becoming habituated because people will toss meat to them from their car and truck windows. We saw this happen and I tried to reason with the woman doing it who said "other people do it" I tried to explain to her that by feeding these wild creatures they associated cars with food and had a higher chance of being hit. She just responded with several obscenities. I feel better that at least I tried.

Hi Hali,

A stunning capture of a magnificent and beautiful creature - superb fur detail and perfect eye-pop - all set against a natural and complimentary backdrop.

Well done indeed - and thank you for sharing...

‘Out of Office’ - Hello, we’re away on an extended 'Frank-Fest' (frequent rain is forecast - and inevitable). We will be unable to provide any feedback until after we return at the end of the month. Please carry on having fun in our absence - and stay safe… P&K

In the meantime, a selection of images from our recent visit to Porthmadog, Gwynedd, Wales.
