I think I'm more than a little envious of your back yard!
Then again, while the fox and the deer would be welcome visitors, I'm not so sure I'd want that bear as a guest at my backyard barbeques...

Lovely captures
Thank you Lindiwe
i've had a couple instances were they were even more up close and personal but so far, long as i don't bother them, they don't bother me
Thank you Gale
Thank you Dennis, i had this fox eating out of my hand, in this shot he was just about to step in my back door as i was standing in the doorway as i took the shot, he would come in just far enough that his front paws were inside then turn around and head back outside, to where he was feasting on some cat food i had outside for him
Excellent shots. Most of us have to travel a long way to see critters like that. You're lucky to have then come to you. The only problem with feeding foxes is that they'll expect it from all humans now. Problem is, some humans will kill them instead of feed them. Sadly I've seen it happen. :cry
Thank you Joel
I have a municiple dump not far away so mostly these guys just stop in for a short visit on their way to go scavenge from there, i try not to make a habit of feeding them and they still get pretty friendly
had a few times when i and a couple buddies were drinking beers outside and a fox will show up, then my cat enters the picture also, had a fox walk right between me and buddy as we watched him, he stopped at my friends leather shoes, took a sniff and then a small taste test of his shoe then carried on, my cat laying a few feet away, the fox would walk up slowly to the cat, sniffing her out, she would let him get within a foot then chase the fox off down the driveway, 20 feet later the chase was finished, they would stop and turn around and head right back to us again...was cute to watch
Youmade good use of the opportunities you had. Very nice set of images.
