It looked as if there was a Golden Retriever on the road ahead, similar to Georgie, the golden grand-dog in the back seat. However, it is unusual to see dogs on the roads in Prince Edward Island. We slowed down on this country road about fifteen minutes from home and as we drew near, we realized it was a fox. Since it was green bin day and the temperature was mild, the compost bins probably enticed this beauty to the road for a sniff and a look around.
The small Red Fox ran down over the embankment when Georgie started to bark. Then it stopped and watched as I put down the window and took some photos.
Georgie couldn’t see it from her position and stopped barking. The fox stayed there for a few minutes before it headed into the woods.
There are foxes in our area and they hunt in the neighbourhood at night. We’ve caught them on the doorbell camera a few times crossing the front walkway. When Georgie visits, she always follows the tracks around the house, sniffing as she goes. Sometimes she wakes in the middle of the night and wants to go fox hunting but we’ve banned it in our yard. Georgie, like us, admires them from afar but is much louder about it.

It's a beauty alright!
That was an obliging fox.
Oh that's a beautiful fox! The ones around here are a bit scrawny and not fluffy. But I suppose yours need to be thicker-coated to keep warm.
He is so cute, love those great photos!
Wow, beautiful fox. The color is lovely, great sighting and photos.
Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!
What a gorgeous creature! :-)
We seldom catch a glimpse of the foxes in our neighborhood. Same for coyotes.
A beautiful fox - you got some great photos. We see them almost daily on our property.
Wow, you got some beautiful photos of that fox. Well done, Marie.
Gorgeous pictures of this fox.
Tremendous photos so glad it waited around long enough for these great shots It is beautiful. Hope you have a good week Diane
Beautiful animal!!! Whau! You got awesome photos Marie! Around here there are coyotes, the other day I got to see two of them hanging in someone's yard. I asked the gentlemen what animals were those and he said they were coyotes, they kill them because there are too many of them around. The coyotes kill their chickens and other animals of the household. I had never seen a coyotes before.
What a beautiful animal.
This is a handsome fellow, especially his black nose. We have a lot of fox here, but I've never seen one as lovely.
Lucky you! You got some great shots. I love to see them but seldom do...has been years since I saw one.
What a beautiful creature. That is what I miss about living in the busy middle of the city.
It is a beautiful creature and one that I admire. It has survived and prospered despite unrelenting persecution from humans over far too many years. Maybe at last we have come to accept them as part of our world and are willing to share our space with them.
Gosh. That fox was in great shape - beauty indeed.
A Very Healthy Looking One There - Also, Stellar Roadside Photos
Cheers
