Watching Vixen

'Watching'
An Urban fox I found sat on the compost heap in my
garden.Looking into her eyes, I imagine she is thinking:

'Leave me in peace, I am resting.
Its daytime and I have a long night ahead of me,
I am cold and trying to warm myself through the compost heap and the rays of the weak winter sun.
Tonight I shall have to work hard to find food, to get me through the night,
Whether it be discarded takeaways, berries, worms or even a mouse, it'll be a scavenge.
Please leave me in peace, I can't help being a fox.'

(A countryside fox lives over 12 years ...an urban fox survives for only 2-3years.) - al hayball ©2014

Great Missenden Craft Show


I drew these caricatures at the weekend.
It was quite funny because 'Melissa' is featured on the Live Crafts brochure last time I drew her 4 years ago!
She is a hairdresser in Gt Missenden and everybody in the town recognises her from the brochure and website!
