Kerry said...

You do ever so well getting shots of the fox. Round here they are so persecuted that I never get the opportunity.

Sam and Lisa said...

Brilliant images. The Marbled White on teasle is a cracker and the fox focusing beyond the reeds is outstanding. I would have had perfectly in focus vegetation and a fox blur.

Roy said...

Another great set Keith. The Little/E and the Marbled white in particular. Nice one of Reynard as well.

Lisa RedWillow said...

A lovely collection as always Keith. Glad to see a reappearance from the Black Swan.

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Jan. That Black Swan is becoming a favourite of mine. He has since flown from this lake, to another further up the road. I guess a short vacation lol

Horst in Edmonton said...

Love your photos, you are doing a great job of it. The Egyptian Geese are awesome. I hope they are able to get back to thier usual flight path when they go home in the fall.

holdingmoments said...

Horst, thanks for stopping by and commenting. Good to catch up again.
Those Egyptian Geese are probably captive birds, that have escaped at some time, and now breeding.
I love to see new species making it like that.

Dixxe's Doodles said...

You got some super shots Keith...love the bokeh on that buttercup and the grebe family is a winner for sure!! Awesome fox shot too...he looks wet-

holdingmoments said...

Thank you Dixxe. I was hoping the Grebes would move from the reeds a bit; but they were not being very co-operative lol
The fox was a big surprise when I saw him walk past :)

Luzia said...

A wonderful series of perfect shots. The fox is my favourite one. Greetings from Luzia.

holdingmoments said...

Thank you Lucy. I was pleased how the fox came out, through those reeds.
