  1. Always wonderful, thank you for sharing. The fox kits are SO cute, as a kid we used to call Triilium, Stinking Benjamin, always loved them and the Lady Slippers (I never ever picked them, lol) they seemed to grow in the same areas. Thanks again, you brighten my Sundays.

  2. Wonderful photos of the kits and there mother. Thank you all for sharing each week, really enjoy all the great photos.
