Close encounter with a wild Fox!

in photography •  6 years ago  (edited)

Hi steemians!

Sometimes photo trips get extra special. I was on my way back home from a photo trip when I saw a beautiful little fox on the side of the way. I quickly stopped the car and got my camera out very carefully. Normally wild animals run away but to my surprise this one was a curious one.

He let me creep very close to him so I coul'd take a nice portrait. He came so close that I could almost touch him. I still couldn't believe it while I was laying in the gras. After like 10 minutes or so I got all the pictures I wanted but of course I couldn't leave without taking a selfie. :-)

Here are the fox and I.

He even looked into the camera for the picture of us. A beautiful experience that I will never forget. It makes you apprichiate the little things in life.

Keep on creating!

Great photos above! Thanks for the mention too, @newageinv. Please let me know if you have any questions about Steemit, @evergreen. Check out steempeak.com for a much better UI over the default steemit.com too.

P.S. I'm about 23% Swedish from my mother's side of the family by the way. My surname is Cornelison (took her maiden name because my grand father Lowell only had her as a child before dying in WWII).

Wow, what an amazing shot! Great job.

Thank you! :-)

this is the best!! so damn cute

Thank you! :-) And yes very cute!

:)

A cutie!

Indeed! :-)

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:

I still couldn't belive it while I was laying in the gras.
It should be believe instead of belive.

Thank's! ;-)

Obviously a typo @grammarnazi, your work is slipping.

Is that kpunka? Resteemed!

Haha almost looks like it :-) Thank you so much!

Just an extraordinary creature, he is beautiful (maybe she). I can’t believe he let you get so close. Kindred spirits in some way perhaps. Very cool shot @evergreen365, an even cooler experience.

Thank you my friend! It was an amazing experience! :-)

I can only imagine.

Wow very nice Shot of a fox. The closest i got to a fox was probably 20 meters and this was in a hide.

Thank's! Yes same with me but this day was special! :-)

That's almost an incredible story. When I photographed my last fox, I had to work with a 400 mm Tele. I can very well imagine what a special experience this encounter was for you. A truly extraordinary meeting, dear Johannes.👏

Yes most of the time you need a tele lens but this was a beautiful exeption! :-)

You're a lucky guy, it's not every day that one can take a selfie with a fox, unless in a zoo :) That's a little cutie :)

Thank you! Yes I feel very lucky! :-)
