It is that beautiful time of the year when fox kits are out and about.  I have been privileged to capture some tender moments between vixen and kit.  Background are often a challenge at a den site so thanks to rachels for her technical help with this image

Love that pleading face of the cub, it appears to be trying to get the vixen to cough up a juicy morsel of food so it can get something to eat! Captured beautifully Missy!

I like the kit's look at the vixen.

Great capture of an intimate wildlife interaction between mother and offspring. Beautifully composed and exposed too.
