@catskingdomorg The most fulfilled lives are rarely those others tell us to follow but those we feel called to lead. Congratulations on your birthday and on your wonderful work for cats.

I just spent some more time chilling with Brother Fox this evening...

[Keith Anthony @KeithAnthonyWS]

Tall shadow (me in the rising summer solstice sun) and Ukrainian flag (about an hour later). Only too distant or too fast wildlife for photos today, but the 04.20 start was still worthwhile, making for a beautiful walk.

Looking across the Thames to Bourne End during a brief visit by the summer this afternoon.

[Keith Anthony @KeithAnthonyWS]

I noticed that my camera had somehow, sometime slipped on to the wrong stability setting... I've long been thinking my photos should be sharper... this one of Woody very early today seems better, despite a high iso setting in the low light.

Monty's back! #muntjac

Woody flits between the nut feeder and Jacob's Well...

Woody this morning...

Countless Great Tits around at the moment, pretty sure this ball of fluff is a juvenile...

Chilling in the evening sun. #FoxOfTheDay

[Keith Anthony @KeithAnthonyWS]

Beyond encroaching shadows,
The night not yet begun,
A fox relaxes on the grass,
Bathing in late sun.
And it feels so special
To share the fleeting calm
Of this brief fox heaven,
Where no one bears him harm,
And no cause for alarm.

@SeptimusBrown Yesterday evening... thanks for the positive Tweet 😃.

[Keith Anthony @KeithAnthonyWS]

Nicest evening of the year yet. I went out with my camera and saw 3 or 4 roe deer. This doe was my best photo, wondering if she is pregnant... ?

@jonathancoe I love this book... A while ago I wrote my own & tried similarly to include several different strands that neatly came together at the end. I'm quietly proud of the result, though our sales figures were rather different. Thanks for "What a carve up!" Wishing it a happy birthday.

Studies of Brother Fox... so much for easing up on his portraits. #Foxoftheday

[Keith Anthony @KeithAnthonyWS]

I tried my macro lens on Brother Fox tonight... they're good for portraits too. Anyway, this came out well. #Foxoftheday.

My first sighting this year of Woody... #Greatspottedwoodpecker

[Keith Anthony @KeithAnthonyWS]

I thought I was in heaven,
That I had surely died,
And that this fox had been sent
To be my spirit guide.
But I could not follow when
He turned and slipped away,
Through the hedge to paradise...
I'll die another day.
#FoxOfTheDay

[Keith Anthony @KeithAnthonyWS]

Underneath a shady bush,
Sun-dappled at midday,
A muntjac in my garden
Whiles the heat away.
I wonder if he suffers,
If muntjac life is tough,
Or if, amongst those hardships,
This one bliss is enough.

[Keith Anthony @KeithAnthonyWS]

Thanking God he's a fox... #Foxoftheday
