Yes, folks, it's a new month, which means it's time for a new installment of 20 Reasons. This time, it's all about why I love foxes.

    Awwwww......nice pictures. I remember thinking foxes were/are such pretty creatures. I was horrified as a child that there was a "bounty" on them.....for stealing chickens from the hen house. They don't seem to be the farmer's friend. I still think they are pretty.....I especially like pictures of the babies. I always have. Thanx for another 20 winners! :)

    Photoshopped. I can tell by some of the pixels and because I have seen a few shops in my life.

    Why is it that when someone posts pictures, there is always someone who calls them photoshopped? So what!!! I happen to like the soft focus on pics. I LOVE foxes, wolves, eagles - just basically animals in the WILD. I like to see the zoos but wish the animals could all be free to come and go as they please.
