I was very much impressed by this Vixen.
She had to look after six kits bringing in prey ever so often and still found time to play with them and have some tender moment with them like this.
Amazing mother, she is. Watching the interactions was one of the greatest moments ever.
Thanks for looking.

Great behavior series. The Mom does look a little worn.
Of the group I like this one the best. (I might try darkening the grass a bit to see if it makes the animals pop some.)

A sweet moment captured Karl, vixens are usually very devoted mothers and you have this lovely image to illustrate that, and so important to have both faces visible in scenes like this. Well done!

Such a sweet moment captured. I like that you can see both faces well and get their expressions.
