Two of our neighbors

The human is Herman, our neighbor in Woodland Park, CO who, with his wife Mary, lives down the mountain from us. He is originally from Germany but has lived in Colorado for nearly 30 years. He is retired and has many hobbies. One is that he is building a castle in his back yard. It is a small one, but one that will be livable when he is done. He has been featured on several episodes of one of HGTVs programs about unusual homes. Here he is feeding one of our other neighbors whom he calls Josephine. Josephine is a fox and has either a partner or friend (fox) that is more timid than Josephine and didn't show up for this photo shoot. Ed and I noticed many times that we would spot a fox around and Herman has been able to befriend her and feed her by hand. Here he found some cold french fries (chips if you are British) that were left by one of the workers on our building site.
At first she was shy about posing for Ed and the camera but she didn't run off so I think we have a friend.

Wow what a great shot! Sorry we missed that-it is a great looking fox. I wonder if that was the fox Ed had on the blog way back in the beginning!
