Sep. 1st, 2011 02:41 pmI have a head cold. (I blame PAX.) It's one of those things that I can't really complain about, because it's not a big deal in the grand scheme, but in the short term it is making me uncomfortable and also temporarily very stupid.
In the meantime, I have been cheering myself up with Igor Shpilenok's Russian nature photography from the Kronotsky reserve. It's all gorgeous, but I'm particularly fond of his photographs of a fox he calls Alisa, who is familiar enough with him to allow him to photograph her close up.
All of the pictures make me happy!
Fox on the prowl.
Chanterelle mushrooms, aka "little foxes", plus one actual little fox eating billberries.
Fox in a summer meadow.
Fox hunting ground squirrels. (Note that, while there is no blood or gore, there is a shot of a fox with a dead ground squirrel, so you can skip that if you'll find it upsetting.)
No foxes, but a most lovely twilight.
No foxes, but a salmon run and a happy bear.
No foxes, but fog and sunny not-sunflowers.
Fox, lake, and mountain.
