I guess the only CD connection this photo has is that I own one. I thought some might appreciate an admittedly poor photo of the two grey foxes which stop by my backyard every evening for a little handout. In a week or two they will show up with their kits, it's always a treat to see the whole family.
They only stop by for as long as it takes them to finish the meal, then they head back home and are never seen at any other time. When the snow gets deeper than a few inches in winter they stop visiting and are not seen again till spring. Clearly this handout augments their natural diet and has not altered their natural behavior.
I had to take the photo through a window screen so it lacks crystal clarity, they are very skittish.

Re: Streetwise
From our backyard in Baltimore City,
Summertime,
An’ the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
An’ the cotton is high.
One of these mornin’s
You're goin’ to rise up singin’
Then you'll spread yo’ wings
An’ you'll take the sky.
Oh yo’ daddy's rich
An’ yo’ mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don' yo’ cry.
But till that mornin’
There's a-nothin’ can harm you
With daddy an’ mammy standin’ by.

Re: Not boaty but foxy
This isn't exactly foxy, more like potentially smelly. This one was just seeing if the fox had left any scraps. It let me get within a dozen feet to take the picture. Skunks usually will tolerate you getting real close as long as you don't appear to be a threat. They are handsome little devils.

Re: Not boaty but foxy
I was sitting on my deck tonight taking pictures of birds visiting my feeder. This hummingbird happened to come in range. She didn't go to her feeder which is a dozen feet away, instead she was checking out some of the tiny wild flowers near the seed feeder.
