Mixed Day for Photography

Today was dry and sunny after a misty start, so we did the Mannlichen walk.
The 24mm lens is my favourite for alpine flower photography but I also tried it with an extension ring. With the 25mm ring the focus is very close and the depth of focus very narrow as seen with the Sainfoin flower. Using a 12mm ring proved very useful for photographing small flowers such as this White orchid.
As well as many new species of flowers, I also had the privilege of photographing a dragonfly that had just emerged, an incredible cloud formation against the north wall of the Eiger and a very tame Fox.

Fox

This Fox was out in the warm sunshine just by our bungalow. Remained staring at us for some time before running off into the bushes.

Corsac Foxes at Hamerton

The Corsac Foxes looked quite at home in the snow on Wednesday. They are very active but stop long enough for a shot while looking around before grabbing the food that had been put out.

Fox Part Two

Fox came back for a long visit today and here is the evidence of what it is eating!

Visitor to our Garden

Looked out of bedroom window while dressing this morning and came face to face with this fox (we live in a bungalow!). It was eating some apples that I had thrown onto the lawn the day before and seemed quite unafraid though obviously aware of the camera being pointed at it.

Possibly a female with cubs still feeding from her and therefore very hungry but I am still surprised that she was eating apples.
