Fox

Looking into the light just for a second here on the edge of the terrace I thought how beautiful he looked. I managed to catch him as he came in again as the first time we saw clearly but fleetingly out of the window him looking on top of the tree stump for his supper then disappearing empty handed. It was bitingly cold so I hurriedly put out the food but that meant I had to eat my supper on my lap waiting for him to come back to get any shot. 

Millie was firmly put out of the room but Poppy sat with me - how can a dog that is very deaf and nearly blind know there's a fox outside? I don't know but she did as there was a low rumble of a growl followed by a yap. Shushing under my breath I just hoped he wouldn't be distracted. 

A day that has been literally non stop and I'm hoping that when I look at my step count later it will be at least encouraging.
