As winter changed to Spring the family were busy in and out of our garden and on the 12th April Leggy returned….was so happy to see him again as I was quite worried about him…He is quite mischievous and I caught him trying to run of with some gardening tools one day…but I think the challenge was too much and they were too heavy for him…I grow begonia in hanging baskets and each day I put them on the low stone wall to get sunlight all day….hanging them up again in the evening…I forgot one day and when I went to hang them the following day Leggy had chewed all the hangers off…luckily I had more to replace them….and didn’t leave them on the wall overnight again…he usually did these mischievous things when hungry…we really enjoyed their visits each evening but little did we know what was brewing with the neighbors…..to be continued….

On Friday last week when Peter came home from work he said he saw Cheeky waiting near the feeding place and when she saw his car ran towards our house and was waiting for him when he arrived home a few minutes later…He was amazed but I had been saying for weeks they look out for his car and come quickly to the garden as they know shortly we would be going to feed them…Cheeky waited for us and escorted us to the feeding location having a few dog treats on the way….

Young Cheeky Fox
As I cropped the photo I enlarged it and enhanced it in Topax photo AI…
In Topax fx labs I added Daily Texture…Tranqil start and Hiding in the grass…I applied this one 10 times moving the texture each time to get the grass how I wanted it…the last time I put the whole texture over my image and masked away where I didn’t want it…
Topaz Lens effects…single tone and a hint of diffusion….
Cheeky was painted in the Procreate app on my iPad Pro….with Jai’s smooth paint brush and Linda’s hair brush….
