Baby Foxes!

It must be spring because the baby foxes are out!
For a while we've suspected that the fox that's been living in a valley behind our backyard had babies, and we were right! She's got 4 for sure (possibly 5, but we've only seen about 4 out at once). The lense I rented (a Nikkor 70-300mm zoom lens) definitely helped me get some better shots of the babies - a telephoto would probably have pulled in a smidge closer but I've only used standard and zoom lenses and wasn't sure if a telephoto lens might be more complex than those. This 70-300 is an amazing lens though - and it's even got vibration reduction (which helps when you're trying to photograph a rambunctious baby fox!)

Anyway, since the lens arrived I've probably taken around 300 photos of the fox and her babies, and I plan to go through them and pull out the best ones...when I find the time (and energy) to actually dig through all 300+ photos! For now, these are just a few photos that I managed to pull out just for this blog post!

I think we need some baby foxes too. The lense sounds very nice. You've got a good eye for photography. Well done my sister in the arts!
